"Häuser der Weltkulturen und ethnografische Museen sind die Museen unserer Zeit in Europa. In einer sich wandelnden Gesellschaft, die sich öffentlich mit den Vermächtnissen des Kolonialismus auseinandersetzen muss und vor der Herausforderung steht, in einem von Migration und Globalisierung geprägten Gemeinwesen zusammenzuleben, rücken sie besonders ins Blickfeld. The Art of Being a World Culture Museum umreißt die inhaltliche wie methodi ..."
"On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m., the Tohoku region in northeastern Japan experienced the most powerful earthquake ever registered in the country. Its aftermath, a tsunami, leveled a 400-kilometer-long stretch of coastline dotted with cities and villages, while an accident at the nuclear reactor in Fukushima exacerbated a catastrophe of unimaginable scale. One year later, photographer Hans-Christian Schink (born 1961) spent several weeks ..."
"Negative film can only be exposed to a certain point, beyond which the photochemical process is reversed and the negative's darkest areas become light again. For Hans-Christian Schink's series "1h," a 1955 picture by Minor White, titled "Black Sun," was a source of inspiration. "1h" employs an effect called "real solarization." For "1h," Schink deliberately chose to combine this process with a very long exposure, acheiving effects of ab ..."
"Two bodies of color work dealing with the landscape of Los Angeles are intertwined in this intriguing, oddly Romantic book. One grouping captures desolate details in the dead of night, evoking feelings of surveillance and discomfort."

Architectures appear that, firstly, have less to do with the objectual idea that preserves the reality of a devastated planet, and secondly, a modified, domesticated landscape. The works chosen extend from architectures inserted as ..."

The interior architecture of the castle not only acts as the framework for the exhibition, but the building's central position also shapes the cityscape. The change of use ..."
