A major research project, accompanied by three exhibitions at different institutions, seeks to rectify this. A conversation with art historian and curator Nóra Lukács and Melanie Roumiguière, Head of the Visual Arts Division at the DAAD—both of whom have been instrumental in organising these exhibitions—on their research, an often-challenging history, and lessons learned. © Carolin Kralapp for Berlin Art Week Interview, Interview »There’s still too often a sense of fighting a lonely battle.« 27.07.2023 — Carolin Schmidt, Dominikus Müller A stroll at Schlachtensee with Lisa Marei Schmidt (Brücke-Museum), Anna Gritz (Haus am Waldsee), and Kathleen Reinhardt (Georg Kolbe Museum)—exploring contemporary perspectives on a difficult legacy, the potential in the histories of their institutions, and the garden as a place where everyone gets together X Properties/nGbK 2022 © Naomi Hennig Interview »Two problems are better than one« 12.09.2022 — Dominikus Müller A conversation with the nGbK: on the present and future of the institution between centre and periphery Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Nationalgalerie, 2021 Schenkung der Baloise Group, cameron clayborn, homegrown #1, 2021, Haarperlen, Dämmung, Papier, Gipsdeckenfarbe und Drahtseil, 246,38 × 86,36 × 15,24 cm.
