1929/1955
Die erste documenta und das Vergessen einer Künstler:innengeneration
Ein gemeinsames Forschungs- und Ausstellungsprojekt des Zentrums für verfolgte Künste mit dem documenta archiv Kassel. Beide Institutionen schauen parallel zur documenta 15 im Jahr 2022 kritisch-reflektierend zurück auf die Anfänge der Großausstellung.
Manche Künstler:innen schaffen es. Sie werden bekannt, Museen sammeln ihre Werke und halten die Erinnerung an sie wach. Einige Künstler:innen sind nur für kurze Zeit öffentlich präsent, andere nie. Die Auswahl derer, die bleiben, wird u.a. durch Museen, den Kunstmarkt, durch Galerien, Sammler:innen und die Kunstgeschichtsschreibung mitbestimmt. Ihr Zusammenwirken prägt den kunsthistorischen Kanon.
Einen schwerwiegenden Bruch bedeutete für viele Künstler:innen die Durchsetzung der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie nach 1933. Deutschland wurde eine Diktatur, verantwortlich für Millionen Tote, den Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Shoah. Das NS-Regime verfolgte zahlreiche Künstler:innen, beschlagnahmte ihre Werke in deutschen Museen und zeigte sie ab 1937 auf der Femeausstellung Entartete Kunst. Gerade die Künstler:innen, die 1933 um 30 Jahre alt waren und begannen, sich zu etablieren, traf diese Verfolgung hart, denn selbst nach 1945 konnten viele nicht mehr an ihre früheren Erfolge anknüpfen.
In einem gemeinsamen Projekt mit dem documenta archiv Kassel, stellt sich das Zentrum für verfolgte Künste der Frage, welche Rolle die documenta und ihre Gründer bei den Kanonisierungsprozessen bildender Kunst in der Nachkriegszeit spielten. Die documenta 1955 war als europäisches Großereignis geplant, das die „Kunst der Gegenwart“ mit der Kunst vor 1933 verbinden wollte. Wurde sie diesem Anspruch gerecht?
Arnold Bode war nicht nur Initiator der documenta, sondern auch Künstler, Gestalter und schon in den 1920er Jahren als Kurator aktiv. Sein Engagement erlaubt es uns, zwei von ihm mitverantwortete Ausstellungen zu vergleichen: die Vierte Grosse Kunstausstellung Kassel 1929 und die erste documenta 1955.
30 Künstler:innen der Solinger Sammlung Bürgerstiftung für verfolgte Künste – Else Lasker-Schüler Zentrum — Kunstsammlung Gerhard Schneider waren in der Ausstellung 1929 vertreten — 1955 waren es nur drei. Was geschah mit den 27 restlichen Künstler:innen?
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
