In the KUNSTWERK exhibition hall in Eberdingen-Nussdorf, two to three exhibitions per year offer various insights into the extensive art collection portfolio of Alison and Peter W. Klein. Under the title ANKOMMEN (Arrival), the current exhibition presents a new selection of works from the collection – a theme that each of us associates with a particular situation. This is because we ultimately always arrive somewhere to do something. Compared with having arrived, arrival itself is not a finished process but rather describes a moment in the suspense between the path of the route taken and the future path that is still open. Depending on how the path is taken, the arrival might come easily or be a challenge. Engagement with the place where we arrive involves the past or points towards the future. Not least, “Arrival” can refer to a spatial or inner, spiritual process.

LEVEL 2 | ANKOMMEN (Arrival) – A Reflection on Time and Place

In the large room on the 2nd level, the theme of arrival unfolds into different spatial and temporal dimensions. In dealing with National Socialism and the period of the Third Reich, the works by Gottfried Helnwein, Katrin Ströbel and Eva Leitolf set historic and current areas of tension. A series of photographs by Juliane Eirich describes a very personal artistic approach to the culture of South Korea. The pictorial world of New Zealand writer and visual artist John Pule comes from a trip to his home country, his own past and the roots of his own identity. Likewise, the pieces by Marco Schuler originate from personal reflection.
