Resonance Spaces in the New Gallery: Remembering as an Artistic Experience
The exhibition Resonance Spaces celebrates the 50th anniversary of the New Gallery Kassel with a concentrated display of significant recent acquisitions. Large-format installations, films, and objects open a multifaceted view of collective and personal memory, of history, collection, and the present of the documenta city Kassel. The presentation runs from March 6, 2026, to January 24, 2027. ([schwulissimo.de](https://schwulissimo.de/region/hessen/neue-galerie-kassel-ausstellung-resonanzraeume?utm_source=openai))
Between Archive and Present
Entering the exhibition, visitors encounter not just a mere hanging but a precisely curated sequence of rooms where artworks become resonators. The New Gallery has been showcasing modern and contemporary art from state and municipal collections since 1976; its connection to documenta continues to shape the profile of the institution to this day. This is where the exhibition gains its unique tension: memory does not appear as a retrospective but as a living aesthetic experience.

Works with Strong Spatial Presence
The focal point is on works by Pinar Ögrenci, Jürgen O. Olbrich, Michal Heiman, and Ute Lindner. Pinar Ögrenci's Aşît unfolds collaborative remembering as a politically and poetically charged process. Jürgen O. Olbrich focuses on discarded photographs, thus highlighting fragile image archives of everyday life. Michal Heiman questions psychological testing structures, while Ute Lindner reflects time, light, and image traditions in her exposures. This results in art considerations that intertwine painting, film, installation, and object art.

The New Gallery as a Historical Art Place
The New Gallery is located at Schöne Aussicht with a view of the Karlsaue and houses the municipal and state art collections. It features paintings, sculptures, and new media from the 19th to the 21st century; the institution is regarded as an important venue for cultural education, documenta history, and contemporary museum work. Visitors experience an artistic experience that impressively connects historical depth with current issues.
