Resonance Spaces at the New Gallery: Anniversary Exhibition with documenta Art and New Acquisitions
With Resonance Spaces, the New Gallery Kassel celebrates its 50th anniversary and opens up views on central new acquisitions from recent years. The exhibition combines large-scale installations, films, and objects into a multifaceted art experience where collective memory, personal experience, and art history intersect.
A Museum That Entwines History and Present
The New Gallery is one of the defining locations for modern and contemporary art in Kassel. Since 1976, it has been showcasing works from state and municipal collections and is closely linked to documenta. In the collection, paintings, sculptures, and new media come together; significant documenta works also illustrate the development of contemporary art.
Works That Question, Not Illustrate, Memory
At the center of the exhibition are works that do not present history as a linear narrative but as a complex structure of traces, images, and interpretations. Pinar Ögrenci addresses collaborative remembering in Aşît, Jürgen O. Olbrich collects discarded photographs, Michal Heiman questions psychological test structures, and Ute Lindner reflects on time and image traditions in her Exposure Times.
Spatial Impact, Materiality, and Aesthetic Experience
The exhibition unfolds its impact through presence and density. Installations, film sequences, and object constellations create an atmosphere where seeing and reflecting intertwine. The large formats make the architecture of the New Gallery appear as a resonance space: light, surface, material, and distance shape an intensive artwork viewing experience.
Educational Offerings for Children, Adults, and Art Enthusiasts
The exhibition includes guided tours and educational offerings, including children's tours starting from 7 years, as well as other formats as part of the museum program. Those who wish to experience art education, documenta history, and contemporary positions in context will find a particularly rich field of cultural education here.

Conclusion
Resonance Spaces is an exhibition for all those who want to experience art not just as an observer but as a living space for thought.
