SAME PLACE, OTHER TIME - 70 years of the Baden-Württemberg Artists' Association

To mark the 70th anniversary of the Künstlerbund Baden-Württemberg, the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden is showing the exhibition "Selber Ort, andere Zeit" - a return to the site of the association's first presentation in 1955. Founded shortly after the formation of the federal state, the Künstlerbund has been committed to promoting contemporary art ever since. The exhibition, to which 21 artists were invited, makes it clear how essential collaboration between artists and institutions is for the creation and visibility of contemporary art. It also underlines the role of artists' associations as supporting structures that create long-term connections - between artists, the public and cultural institutions. The Kunsthalle sees itself not only as an exhibition venue, but also as an active partner in the artistic process. The exhibition is an expression of this attitude - it opens up new perspectives and addresses central questions of our present.
