What does friendship mean to you? What are you doing together with your friends? And how do you express that in pictures and presents? Berlin-based painter Max Kaus (1891–1977) was a close friend of the Brücke artists. On the occasion of a generous donation by Sigrid Kaus, paintings, prints and watercolours from the years 1911 to 1975 are being shown.

Max Pechstein was the most successful painter of German Expressionism in his time. Born in 1881 in Zwickau, Saxony, Pechstein always remained the outsider among the painters of the Brücke group, which today enjoys worldwide fame. For the first time in the documentary film by director Wilfried Hauke, the adventurous life of Pechstein is told in compelling images. The extensive shooting took place in Paris, New York, Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Kiel and on the Italian and Lithuanian coasts.

Brücke-Museum is constantly developing participatory programmes for schools and educational institutions. At this meeting, we would like to exchange ideas with teachers, educators and cultural mediators.

We will not only present the current programmes but will above all ask for wishes/needs from the school sector. The focus is on networking with each other.

For the second Day of Provenance Research, interested people gain insights in the current provenance research at Brücke-Museum in an online workshop with provenance researcher Nadine Bauer.

Dialogical exhibition tour and intervention with Susanne Schuricht
Artist, Berlin

Susanne Schuricht (2003, MA University of Arts Berlin) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in architectural installations and photography. Her artworks deal with the framing of perspective and the creation of a visual excerpt from the surrounding context, in the conscious pause in order to perceive. In many of her installations the human scale and interaction are relevant. Her work has been shown and published in the international art scene, but also at architectural biennials and scientific conferences. Selected exhibitions include Extended Compositions at Centre d’art Pasquart, Switzerland; ORBE, Museum MUCA Roma, Mexico City; 53rd Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte – Fare Mondi, La Biennale di Venezia; Kunstverein Arnsberg, Germany; Shenzhen-Hongkong Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture, China. From July 2015–May 2016 she co-initiated and curated the Room In Room exhibition series at Grüntuch Ernst Lab, which spanned a conceptual bridge from architecture to architecture-related art. Her artworks are part of collections worldwide.

The Re-visited event by Susanne Schuricht, Limitation, Perspective and Cutout, will include a visual presentation and an interactive intervention in the exhibition room.

Short biographies

Eva Mendgen (Dr. phil.)
Art historian, publicist, curator

Fundamental research from the perspective of an interdisciplinary, artistic-scientific methodological approach that combines theory and practice, starting from the frame picture. Since her doctorate entitled Künstler rahmen ihre Bilder in Bonn 1991, she has produced numerous reference works on the subject of the artist’s frame (including In Perfect Harmony. Bild + Rahmen 1850 – 1920). From these, the continuing interest in border areas and their value as cultural landscapes is evident to this day.

Werner Murrer
Frame expert

Werner Murrer, curator of the exhibition and frame maker, is regarded as a proven expert on the frames of Expressionism. His extensive expertise comes from over thirty years of work on the subject, countless museum visits and extensive research.

A visit at Olaf Lemke, Antique Frames

Within the last 50 years, Olaf Lemke has built up an extensive frame collection. Frames from the 15th to early 19th century from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and France. One focus of his work is the framing of Expressionists with old frames.

An evening of art, criticism and Kir Royal

Our guests are Liane Aviram, Johanna Käthe Michel (N*A*I*L*S) and Shanti Suki Osman. We invite you to chat about rigid institutions, discuss strategies for change, and network over a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Since the appointment of the new director two years ago, the Brücke-Museum has opened up a lot of space for creative experiments and room for change. Nonetheless, borders and institutional obstacles are constantly appearing. We provide insights into our work here and want to hear about your current projects and struggles.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
Nora Hogrefe and Katrina Schulz

Short biographies:

Shanti Suki Osman works with acoustic arts on the topics of antiracism, feminisms and cultural education critical of discrimination. She is a research associate and lecturer at the Humboldt University Berlin and co-director of the school and critical race project DIE REMISE, which was founded by Carmen Mörsch. She has realised projects with Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Ballhaus Naunynstraße, Disctrict * School Without Center and Late Nights In Squat Bars among others.

The group N*A*I*L*S was initiated in 2018 and deals with nails and nail art in the context of migration, bio politics and capitalism, as well as nail art studios as a place of critical transcultural and solidary practices. This involves an exchange of intersectional feminist concerns between artists, activists, mediators and cosmeticians. N*A*I*L*S. hacks*facts*fictions started as a transdisciplinary research project initiated by Suza Husse, Ayşe Güleç and Katja Kobolt. It continues as a constantly changing, restless collective that organizes workshops, talks and exhibitions in universities, schools, exhibition spaces and nail studios.

Johanna Käthe Michel is currently studying fine arts in Berlin. In 2018 she graduated with a theoretical thesis formulating an intersectional critique on the (re)production of taste norms through institutional art education. Her artistic practice shows a penchant for found text, objects and footage, institutional critique, feminist discourse, collaborative contexts and public space. Mediative and discursive activities are understood in the framework of an artistic practice. Johanna is part of the transdisciplinary group N*A*I*L*S. Her works have been done and shown at institutional and off-spaces, such as Museum für Fotografie Berlin, Stadtgalerie Kiel, DISTRICT Berlin, Lothringer13 Halle Munich among others.

Liane Aviram is a new-media based artist and researcher. Born in the UK with family in Israel and Germany, her work draws upon questions surrounding economic migration in the Middle East and Europe, transnational motherhood and practises of female empowerment and mobility. Liane has worked with District, Centre without Borders and was involved in the collaborative project titled N*A*I*L*S. hacks*facts*fictions. She is now involved in the coordination of the collaborative think-tank, Karov Qareeb, a Jewish Muslim platform for critical socio-political debate.

You are cordially invited to the opening of on Friday, 15 November 2019 at 7 pm at Brücke-Museum.

The exhibition Never Apart is the first to look at the role and meaning of the frame for the artists’ group Brücke: the artists designed frames especially for their paintings and employed special profiles, always with a view to creating a compositional unit with the image content.

Thanks to countless loans from national and international institutions, as well as many originally framed paintings from the Brücke-Museum’s collection, Never Apart offers visitors an overview of this hitherto neglected field of artistic endeavour.

In a guided Tour in English with Kinderhook & Caracas you can experience the exhibition The Garden Bridge for the last time in the garden of Brücke-Museum. Afterwards, STONEROSES will talk in English about their work SR#8 in a joint walk in the forest surrounding the museum.

STONEROSES is an ongoing project by artists Santiago Taccetti (*1974 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Mirak Jamal (*1979 in Tehran, Iran), both living in Berlin. The curatorial characteristics of the project revolve around artworks by invited contributors placed in the outdoors for an indefinite time, and presented through guided tours. For this instalment, the concept revolves around drawing as the initial stage in the creative process. Over 15 international artists are presenting works placed in nature; contrasting the museum’s foundation of landscape paintings by Brücke artists inside.

FLUIDUM Elli Brandauer and Mathis Euvrard
Performance at 7 pm in the garden
The elements water, fire, earth and air meet in the museum garden. Fluidum plays with water, flowing as a sign of the impossibility to hold on to something, as an image for the fact that nothing in the world lasts forever.

REFLEXION Asya Erin
How do you perceive a museum room? How do you create meanings? And what role do previous knowledge and experience play in this?

LIGHT GAMES Minseong Kim
Outside nature, inside the museum room, the window as a membrane in between. Sketches at the window connect the events from outside with readings of the works shown inside.

Marian Stein-Steinfeld
Archiv Hanna Bekker vom Rath, Frankfurt/Main

Between 1940 and 1943, Hanna Bekker vom Rath, as a rebel for artists, held secret exhibitions in her Berlin studio apartment on Regensburger Strasse of the artists banned as “degenerate”. For the first time, the author of the biography will present Hanna Bekker vom Rath’s courageous activities, which have hardly been known so far, in Berlin. Since the death of her grandmother, Marian Stein-Steinfeld has built up the private archive Hanna Bekker vom Rath.

Having grown up in the legendary so-called “Blue House” of Hanna Bekker from the Rath in Hofheim am Taunus, Marian Stein-Steinfeld was able to personally encounter many artists such as Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emy Roeder and Ida Kerkovius. After studying and working for ten years in Frankfurter Kunstkabinett at Börsenplatz, Marian Stein-Steinfeld decided to work as a freelance artist and participated in the conception of the Stadtmuseum Hofheim, where she also curated numerous exhibitions. As a research assistant, she worked several times for the Wiesbaden Museum, which today houses a large part of the extensive Hanna Bekker vom Rath collection. Most recently she wrote the biography of Hanna Bekker vom Rath as an “Agent for art and artists”. As director of the private archive Hanna Bekker vom Rath, she continues to look after her estate.

Summer holiday workshop for children, 8–12 years old

For what would you go out on the street? What are you rebelling against and by what means? Is there something you’ve always wanted to say publicly? After an examination of the life and work of the Brücke artists during the period of National Socialism, we discuss the social and political situation of that time and compare it with today. How do you imagine the ideal society of tomorrow? What still needs to be changed? We reflect on how we can express our opinions and ideas artistically, what forms we give them and how we can take them with us into our everyday lives.

On Saturdays, public guided tours in German will give you the opportunity to explore the current exhibition together with one of our art mediators.

In the context of the exhibition Escape into Art? The Brücke Painters in the Nazi Period, the symposium Between Images explores contemporary artistic perspectives on the period after World War II. While the exhibition critically examines the artistic practice and scope of action of the Brücke artists from 1933 to 1949 for the first time, the invited artists of the symposium will use various media to approach the question of how it was possible to live together after the disillusionment of the lost war. Which moral and cultural voids or family gaps – reaching up to the present day – form the starting point of the artistic debate?

Alongside the exhibitions Emil Nolde. A German Legend. The Artist during the Nazi Regime (Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin) and Escape into Art? The Brücke Painters in the Nazi Period (Brücke-Museum), this international colloquium gathers historians, art historians, curators and journalists to critically examine the legacy of Nazi art propaganda.

Participants present the latest research findings on National Socialism and discuss how the multi-faceted and contradictory image of the German art world between 1933 and 1945 can be presented in the institutional framework of an art museum. The kick-off event will take place at the Brücke-Museum; the following lectures and discussions will take place at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin.

In cooperation with glokal e.V.

In this workshop, first impulses for individual confrontation and positioning within the framework of approaches critical of oppression and racism will be stimulated.  

There will be space for personal reflection, both to sensitise participants and to strengthen them in their personal confrontations. Together we will work out which challenges are connected with this in the work context and also personally, and which opportunities racism-critical approaches offer for the mediation of art and culture.

The workshop will be led by trainers Reza Mirdadi and Cornelia Schneider.

Conversation with Judith Raum

In the series Re-visited, experts from different disciplines share their particular perspective on the exhibition – an exhibition tour based on discussion.

Judith Raum is an artist and writer living in Berlin. Her multi media installations and lecture performances often incorporate archival research on social and economic histories, and more recently focuse on the history of the textile industry. For example, her recent works consider the aesthetics and materials used by the artists of the Bauhaus textile workshop as well as examine the fabrics in terms of both gender politics at the Bauhaus and the political unrest before the National Socialists took power.

Dr. Karin Schick will be speaking about Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Swiss work and its reception in Germany and Switzerland within the framework of the exhibtion Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The Swiss Years. Masterpieces from the Collection of E.W. Kornfeld. The art historian contributed a scientific article to the current issue of the Brücke-Archiv.

The lecture will take place on the occasion of the launch of the accompanying publication Brücke-Archiv 24. The founding director of the museum, Leopold Reidemeister, established the publication series as early as 1967. It is now being revived after a ten-year break. The current issue on Kirchner’s Swiss years is dedicated to the passionate collector and Kirchner connoisseur Eberhard W. Kornfeld, whose generous loans made the exhibition of the artist’s late work possible.

Dr. Karin Schick has been in charge of the Collection Modern Art at the Hamburger Kunsthalle since 2012. Prior to this, she worked for six years as Director of the Kirchner Museum Davos, Switzerland.
