Resonance Spaces in the New Gallery: Memory as an Artistic Experience
With the exhibition Resonance Spaces, the New Gallery Kassel celebrates its 50th anniversary and presents significant acquisitions from recent years until January 24, 2027. At the center are large-scale installations, films, and objects that transform history, memory, and the present into a dense exhibition atmosphere. The presentation connects to the documenta tradition of the institution and once again highlights Kassel as a place for international contemporary art.

A Museum with documenta DNA
The New Gallery has been one of the defining institutions for modern and contemporary art in Germany since its opening in 1976. Its collection spans from 19th-century art through classical modernism and informal art to documenta acquisitions and new media. The location itself, situated above the Karlsaue, combines architectural history with cultural education and a clear curatorial signature.

Works Between Archive, Image, and Space
Resonance Spaces unfolds as an exploration of works across multiple levels. Pinar Ögrenci's film Aşît opens perspectives on collaborative remembrance, Jürgen O. Olbrich's collection of discarded photographs makes the poetry of the everyday visible, Michal Heiman questions psychological test structures, and Ute Lindner reflects on time and image traditions in her Exposure Times. This breadth gives the exhibition a powerful aesthetic experience. ([kassel.de](https://www.kassel.de/buerger/kunst_und_kultur/museen/museen/neue-galerie.php))
Guided Tours, Mediation, and Museum Education
The exhibition includes guided tours and a children's program that playfully introduces the show. In the current event calendar of the city of Kassel, several guided tours of Resonance Spaces are listed, including a children's tour for ages 7 and up. This intentionally opens the exhibition to diverse target groups and connects art history with vibrant mediation.
