Es war einmal der Westen

If you are interested in new questions from the realms of art and scholarship, HKW.Wissensclub is just for you. Children and young people can learn how art focuses our vision at kids&teens@hkw.de.

After 1989, the West maintained the fiction of his superiority. How can we re-evaluate post-cold war history in light of the present? What do contemporary artists reveal with they engage with the purported superiority of the former West? How can the future be reconceived in new ways? The project FORMER WEST will revolve around these issues. Co-curator Kathrin Rhomberg and Bernd M. Scherer, HKW’s director, provide insights into the project and its artistic documents.
