Opening

With the exhibition "Difficult Heritage. The Linden-Museum and Württemberg in Colonialism. A Workshop Exhibition" the Linden-Museum takes a look at its own history with regard to colonialism and post-colonial issues. Conceived as a summary exhibition of works, it focuses on the process of coming to terms with history through a conscious shifting of perspectives. This basic concept is taken up by the exhibition design. Numerous modules with different creative approaches to the topic are distributed around stands and open fragmentary exhibitions in the rooms of the museum.

The Humboldt Forum in the Berlin Palace links the reconstructed historic architecture with a cosmopolitan, forward-looking agenda. The building’s corporate design coupled with a timeless, straightforward and adaptable orientation system uses striking means to create highly contemporary locations with a strong identity. The building’s corporate design includes the design of a guidance and orientation system, the public spaces, the language library, the auditorium and the Humboldt-Universität’s exhibition area.

The Humboldt Forum opens – digitally for now. On December 16 at 7 pm.

From Charlemagne to Frederick Barbarossa: in five sections the exhibition explores the different conceptions and strategies of their rule of a selection of imperial personalities in their domains in the Rhine region over five centuries. The exhibition levels are structured by way of floor-to-ceiling walls, thereby creating their own spatial composition of the rooms and a new rhythm for this tour through the Landesmuseum Mainz (DE).

To mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the Museum Hegel-Haus in Stuttgart shines in new splendour. In the house where the great thinker was born, a newly designed permanent exhibition shows his many different facets. In addition to his original manuscripts, Hegel's personality and his extensive oeuvre are highlighted, amongst others, by way of interactive encounters.

On August 11, 2020, "FUNNY MONEY. Money in Caricatures" opens at the Oesterreichische Nationalbank in Vienna. The new temporary topical exhibition presents itself in a "fragmented" showcase structure offering a wide variety of caricatures with insights into the subject areas: money – currency – economy. Exhibition: In cooperation with WGA ZT GmbH. Graphic Design: 2xGoldstein.

The "BrauKunstHaus" (Art Gallery of Brewing) | Zillertal Bier in Zell am Ziller (AT) is now open to the public. The exhibition revolves around the questions "How is beer made?" and "What does beer do to us?" Unique is the way the multimedia exhibition is intertwined with the brewery in terms of content and space.

"In Jail. On deprivation of freedom" deals with life behind bars – with confinement, detention conditions, exclusion, but also reintegration and the role of the judiciary. A manifold scenography explores the inside and outside of prisons in a colorful and positivistic manner. Historical, philosophical, anthropological and sociological aspects of incarceration reveal the ambiguous reality of detention, they break down stereotypes and raise the possibility of alternatives to authoritarian and antiquated punitive systems.

The main attraction of the 4th State of Saxony Exhibition focuses on the history of industrialisation and its influence on the work- and everyday life of the inhabitants of the region. In the Audi-Bau Zwickau, a former assembly hall specially remodelled into a temporary museum, the task of finishing the exhibition is in full swing. Exhibition scenography and design: Holzer Kobler Architekturen. The exhibition will be opened on 11 July 2020.

About ten years ago, Holzer Kobler Architekturen designed a futuristic-looking exhibition space for the focusTerra exhibition in the listed old building of the ETH Zurich at Sonneggstrasse 5. The renovation and update of the exhibition is nearing completion.

focusTerra will be accessible from 19 February 2020.
