DAS BILD IST, WAS ES TUT.

In the organizer's words:

THE PICTURE IS WHAT IT DOES.

PICTURES FROM THE COLLECTION

21.8. UNTIL 17.11.24

With Anne Collier, Dörte Eißfeldt, Seiichi Furuya, Christina Glanz, Rodney Graham, Annette Kelm, Andrzej Steinbach, Raphaela Vogel and Ian Wiblin.

The exhibition title "The picture is what it does" is inspired by the poet Elke Erb. "The poem is what it does." she says. The question is the same, the medium is different: What do pictures "do"? What do they move and why? And how?

The exhibition presents works by nine artists, mostly from the collection of the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung, who could not be more different. Each of these positions challenges perception in a different way. The title of the exhibition invites you to consciously engage with them, to observe your own perception and to see yourself as part of the artwork.
