The temporary exhibition “Beyond Borders. Artistic Internationalism in East Germany” focuses on the international (cultural) political and artistic relations of the GDR with friendly socialist states and their after-effects in the present.
The exhibition opens up a differentiated spectrum in an interplay of artistic positions and archive materials: It ranges from the GDR’s official foreign cultural policy towards its friendly socialist states and liberation movements in Asia, Africa and the Americas to the (image) politics of intergraphics and the stories of migration and the associated (post-)migrant cultures of remembrance and transformations after 1989.
Individual experiences and collective history are conveyed in the exhibition through artistic works and groups of works by Maithu Bùi, Seiichi Furuya Mio Okido, Minh Duc Pham and Su-Ran Sichling. More information: humboldtforum.org.
The exhibition is curated by Kerstin Pinther, Kuratorin für Moderne und Zeitgenössische Kunst des Museums für Asiatische Kunst und des Ethnologischen Museums der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin.
