Presentation of the collection
People on the Street
Curator: Christoph Kohl
The photography exhibition "Menschen auf der Straße" (People on the Street) at the Märkisches Museum Witten focuses on the Street as a living space and a place for social interaction. It is a venue for performance and political motivation. On it, the complexity of human existence can be experienced and thus becomes a mirror of society.
19 artists invited to dialogue with two series by Thomas Struth and Toby Binder.
Markisches Museum is part of the RuhrKunstMuseen, association of museums in the Ruhr.

Curators: Ingo Clauß and Janneke de Vries
The exhibition brings together more than 190 works from different eras and contexts and addresses both contentual and formal issues.

The phantoms of the past – near or far, acknowledged or suppressed – hover over the contemporary artworks shown here, which have recently enriched the Museum's collection. Set in a wide variety of political contexts and geographical locations, they reveal how history appears to seep through the cracks of the present, returning to haunt it and refusing to let go. By focusing our gaze on the here and now, the artists in the exhibition invite us to confront events from the past that still reverberate today. Some search for bygone times, uncovering layers of memory, while others attempt to capture and preserve that which is about to fade away.

Two scenarios for one collection
exhibition of recent acquisitions for the collection
Photography to the test of Abstraction
The exhibition is dedicated to the issue of abstraction in the field of contemporary photography. Riemer?s unique approach to photography creates atmospheres, which combine the past and the future. Whether the works were recently taken by him, or he used images from photo archives and added his own take on them, they all have a sense of timelessness, allowing for both the future and the past to enter.
This exhibition is part of the 4th edition of the festival "Normandie impressionniste" and will take place in 3 locations:
Frac Normandie Rouen,
Micro Onde - art center,
and Centre Photographique d?Île-de-France
A bilingual catalogue is published by edit.Hatje Cantz
