The exhibition and extensive accompanying events programme shed light on artists’ positions in East Germany and encourage a new reading of art from the GDR. The project is a KVOST initiative and is taking place in cooperation with neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbk), Mitte Museum, and Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge. The exhibition draws on the checkered life stories of nine artists and their works, ranging from painting, sculpture, and ceramics to photography. On that basis it shows how differently the nine addressed the political and social conditions of their day. To what extent did sexual orientation influence their artistic practice and their careers?
