Tour through Never Apart with Werner Murrer, Curator of the exhibition and frame expert

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

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.

For one semester, art and design students at the weißensee kunsthochschule explored the Brücke-Museum in the seminar project For Tomorrow. Six interventions were created, which will be shown and tested on 10 July 2019. Situations can be experienced that intervene in the museum and suggest different ways of reading and seeing.

Reception and tour: 5 pm
Daniela Bystron (Curator of Outreach, Brücke-Museum) and
Mona Jas (Honorary Professor, weißensee Kunsthochschule)

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.

ONLY BECAUSE THIS PICTURE WAS IN MY PARENTS’ LIVING ROOM FOR YEARS Birgit Kunz
Contents of the seminar – such as conversations, experiences or theories – are incorporated into the exhibition with text passages.

INSIGNED Carla Schliephack
Workshop at 6 pm & 8 pm in the garden
Through which filters do we look at our environment, how do we see nature? In the garden we invite you to a research with all the senses. Which habits of seeing and thinking do we have – and which ones did the Brücke artists have?

PICTURE SETTING SITTING PICTURES Mizuki Tanaka
3 stools, 3 pictures. Free placement and combination in the museum room.

GARDENBAR Daniela Bystron and Mona Jas
We invite you to enjoy relaxed conversations with cool drinks in the museum garden.

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?

In cooperation with Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin and “Degenerate Art” Research Center at Freie Universität Berlin.

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.
