Resonance Spaces at the New Gallery: Anniversary Exhibition with a Strong Presence
With Resonance Spaces. documenta Art and Other New Acquisitions, the New Gallery in Kassel celebrates its 50th anniversary and opens up the perspective on significant acquisitions from recent years. The exhibition runs from March 6, 2026, to January 24, 2027, and features large-scale installations, films, and objects that oscillate between personal memory, collective history, and archival research.

A Museum as a Resonance Space of Modernity
The New Gallery was opened in 1976 as a joint venue for the municipal and state collections of modern and contemporary art. Its connection to documenta continues to shape the institution today, making it a place where art history is not static but continuously revised. This exhibition draws its tension from exactly this: Recent acquisitions engage in a dialogue with the history of the institution and with the question of how memory is shaped in the exhibition space.

Works that Tell of Time and Memory
At the center are works with strong spatial presence. Pınar Öğrenci negotiates notions of collaborative memory with Aşît; Jürgen O. Olbrich works with found and discarded photographs; Michal Heiman questions psychological testing structures; Ute Lindner reflects on time, image order, and photographic traditions. The exhibition demonstrates how diverse contemporary art makes visible archives, biographies, and political experiences.
