The Hamburger Bahnhof is reinaugurating the Rieckhallen with part 2 of the collection presentation, which uses 10 expansive works from the last 25 years to pose questions about the future of a museum for contemporary art.
The Nationalgalerie’s collection of contemporary art focuses on large-scale sculptures and installations as well as media art; these works, along with new ones, will be presented to the public, researched, communicated and preserved for future generations in the space of the Rieckhallen, which were secured for the long term in 2022. On display will be light and media artworks by Jeremy Shaw and Maurizio Nannucci as well as sculptural works by Elmgreen & Dragset, Anne Imhof and Cevdet Erek.
The questions and perspectives through which art is viewed change from one decade to the next, from generation to generation. Just as the collection and the program of a museum change, so do expectations of the institution, with visitors of all ages and backgrounds coming to the museum every day.
