The anniversary exhibition Zwischen weißen Wänden... at the PEAC in Freiburg im Breisburg tells the story of a collection: it traces the lines of development from the passion of an individual to a museum as an open and lively place for everyone.
The anniversary presentation shows around 60 works from the collection, including Brigitte Kowanz. On display are works that were groundbreaking for the PEAC Museum and continue to shape its identity to this day: some works extend the painting into the space, others enter into an intensive relationship with the viewers or focus on their own materiality.
In the exhibition, sometimes associative, sometimes thematic or art-historical references are made between the works, so that not only the collection itself but also the exhibition practice takes centre stage. What changes when works of art are presented together? What stories are constructed, what connections or contradictions emerge, and how does the space between the white walls function?
