ART QUIZ: ZEITGESCHICHTLICHE FOTOGRAFIE ZWISCHEN OST- UND WESTDEUTSCHLAND

In the organizer's words:

ART QUIZ: CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY BETWEEN EAST AND WEST GERMANY

As part of the exhibition "MENSCHENBILDER│ZEITGESCHICHTE. The photographer Joachim Giesel" at the MÄDLER ART FORUM in Leipzig, the ART QUIZ collective is devoting its latest edition on 23.01.2025 at 6 pm to the topic of contemporary photography between East and West Germany. Against the backdrop of the extensive presentation of the work of the Hanoverian photographer Joachim Giesel, the ART QUIZ takes a look at artistic positions from West and East Germany with a focus on social photography. In this way, ART QUIZ takes a playful approach to contemporary historical documentation and socio-political themes between West and East Germany. The focus is on the perspectives of photographers as observers of social discourse. In cooperation with the Joachim Giesel Archive and the MÄDLER ART FORUM, the ART QUIZ invites all interested parties to puzzle, exchange and learn. And of course there are prizes for the winners!
