Isaac Chong Wai at the exhibition The Assault of the Present on the Rest of Time (14/09/2023)
The exhibition The Assault of the Present on the Rest of Time. Artistic Testimonies of War and Repression shows historical and contemporary positions that address state violence and repression. The project is a cooperation between the Brücke Museum and the Schinkel Pavillon. The Schinkel Pavilion is located in the garden of the former Kronprinzenpalais, which housed the New Department of the National Gallery in the early 20th century. In this world’s first public collection of Modern Art, the Brücke artists had their first museal presentation – until the National Socialists confiscated hundreds of mainly expressionist works of art as “degenerate”. Some of the works defamed during this period found their way, via detours, to the Brücke Museum, which was founded 30 years later and is dedicated to the artists’ group of the same name. The exhibition, curated by Katya Inozemtseva, will be on display from September 14, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
