SCHUBERTH AND SCHUBERTH

The exhi­bi­tion trans­ports us into a par­al­lel world of cul­tur­al his­to­ry, the rooms of Palais Eske­les are neu­tral­ized and lose their con­crete con­text. The cream-col­ored car­pet and the adapt­ed wall col­ors dis­solve the rooms in favor of a blurred, flow­ing spa­tial sequence of the inde­ter­mi­nate back­ground of his­to­ry against which this exhi­bi­tion takes place.

Drama­ti­za­tions and cri­sis. At dra­mat­ic turn­ing points, the friend­ly, neu­tral stag­ing changes to a strong, dark­er col­or scheme — rev­o­lu­tion, world war, anti-Semi­tism, resti­tu­tion.
Scenic pro­duc­tions and object col­lages stim­u­late the imag­i­na­tion and help to bring the past to life.
