Resonance Spaces in the New Gallery: Memory as a Lively Exhibition Experience

With the exhibition Resonance Spaces, the New Gallery Kassel celebrates its 50th anniversary and opens the view on central acquisitions of recent years. Large-scale installations, films, and objects that translate collective and personal memory into a multifaceted museum staging can be seen. The exhibition stands in a tradition that has connected the documenta proximity of the house with international contemporary art since 1976.

A Space Between History and Present

The exhibition unfolds a dense exhibition atmosphere, where artworks are not only viewed but experienced as memory spaces. The New Gallery shows paintings, sculptures, and new media from the 19th to the 21st century and expands this context into resonance spaces with current artistic positions strongly related to space.

Pinar Öğrenci, Jürgen O. Olbrich, Michal Heiman, Ute Lindner

Among the presented positions is Pinar Öğrenci with Aşît, a work about collaborative remembering. Jürgen O. Olbrich works with discarded photographs and thus with the unremarkable remnants of visual culture. Michal Heiman questions psychological test structures, while Ute Lindner reflects on time, image traditions, and perception in her Exposures. Together, an art experience arises that does not explain memory but makes it tangible as an aesthetic experience.

The New Gallery as a Place of Documenta-Shaped Art History

The New Gallery is itself part of the Kassel art history. The building was reopened in 1976 after war destruction and is still closely linked with documenta artworks. At the center is a room established by Joseph Beuys; additionally, there is the permanent exhibition about: documenta, which makes around 70 years of documenta history visible. For art-interested visitors, a precise dialogue emerges between museum architecture, collection, and exhibition curation.
