Artist discussion in the Kunsthaus Minsk: Berlin painter and rapper debate about the GDR and the reunification period
in the Kunsthaus Minsk in Potsdam, a discussion event was recently held, at which the Berlin painter Christian Thoelke and the rapper and writer Hendrik Bolz talked about the GDR and the difficult post -reunification period. The two artists agree on one point: East German art has made progress.
The event was part of the exhibition "Werk instead of a collection", which still presented works of art from the collection of patron Hasso Plattner and the guest Wilhelm Klotzek until August 20. The Kunsthaus Minsk am Brauhausberg has done a real stroke of luck.
During the discussion, Christian Thoelke and Hendrik Bolz exchanged their personal experiences and perspectives. In particular, the end of the GDR and the associated re -reunification period were central issues of the debate. Both artists witnessed the difficult dumps of this time up close and were able to report first -hand about the effects on the art scene.
Thoelke, a renowned painter from Berlin, spoke about the liberation, but also the challenges that the fall of the wall brought with him. He emphasized the importance of freedom and new opportunities for art. The rapper and writer Hendrik Bolz, who is known under the artist Pseudonym "Testo", added that, especially in difficult times, like the reunification period, art often serves as a valve for emotions and can be a voice for people.
Both artists agree that East German art has made great progress since the fall of the wall. Despite the sometimes difficult conditions in the 1990s, a lot of new energy and creativity was released. Since then, the art scene in East Germany has developed and established. Thoelke and Bolz emphasized the importance of exchange and cooperation between the artists in order to further promote this positive development.
The discussion in the Kunsthaus Minsk was not only interesting for art lovers, but also for everyone who is interested in history and cultural change in Germany. It was an opportunity to get to know the perspectives of artists who witnessed this time and were able to share their experiences.
The exhibition "Work instead of collection" in the Kunsthaus Minsk can still be seen until August 20. It offers an insight into the works of patron Hasso Plattner and the guest Wilhelm Klotzek and is further evidence of the positive development of the East German art scene.
