The Hamburger Bahnhof is showing the second part of its collection presentation in the Rieckhallen, which uses around 20 works from the last 25 years to raise questions about the future of a museum for contemporary art.
Spatial sculptures and installations as well as media art are a focal point of the Nationalgalerie's contemporary art collection. In the Rieckhallen, which will be secured for the long term in 2022, these works can continue to be presented to the public and new works can be added to the collection, researched, communicated and preserved for the future. On display will be sculptural art by Elmgreen & Dragset, Anne Imhof and Cevdet Erek as well as light and media artworks by Maurizio Nannucci and Jeremy Shaw.
The questions and perspectives from which art is viewed change from decade to decade, from generation to generation. Just like a museum's collection and program, expectations of the institution change and visitors of all ages and backgrounds come every day. "Museum in Motion" invites you to reflect together on the traditional and contemporary tasks of the museum: What should, what can a museum do for the 21st century? How do works of art negotiate cultural histories, art histories and social developments? Who selects them and whose stories become visible? How does the museum open up to its neighborhood? What relevance does an art collection have for society? The exhibition on around 1,500 square meters continues the collection exhibition "Nationalgalerie. A Collection for the 21st Century' on the art and history of Berlin after the fall of the Wall.
