Resonance Spaces in the New Gallery: Anniversary Exhibition Between Memory and Present

The exhibition Resonance Spaces. documenta Art and Other New Acquisitions celebrates the 50th anniversary of the New Gallery in Kassel with an impressive selection of significant acquisitions from recent years. The focus is on large-scale installations, films, and objects that make collective as well as personal memory visible and allow for a new reading of the documenta-influenced collection of the house.

An Artistic Experience Between Archive and Present

Those who enter this exhibition do not experience a silent inventory, but a vibrant resonance space: images, things, and stories enter into dialogue, spatial effects and artwork contemplations interlock. Pınar Öğrenci's film Aşît activates processes of collective memory, Jürgen O. Olbrich archives discarded photographic material, Michal Heiman investigates psychological test structures, and Ute Lindner condenses time sequences in her Exposure Times.

The New Gallery as a documenta Venue

Since 1976, the New Gallery has presented modern art from state and municipal collections; its centerpiece remains the room set up by Joseph Beuys. At the same time, the house has repeatedly acted as an exhibition venue for the documenta since the 1960s and has expanded its collection through international positions and new media. It is precisely from this that the special exhibition atmosphere of this anniversary show arises. ([heritage-kassel.de](https://www.heritage-kassel.de/standorte/neue-galerie))
