The exhibition Von hier aus includes the project space “The Wardrobe.” The accompanying series of talks explores various aspects of the research into a particular piece of furniture that curator Bettina Klein discovered in a Berlin flea market. Research revealed that the cabinet is looted art and that the wooden reliefs carved on the doors by sculptor Otto Hitzberger depict episodes from the family history of Jewish textile entrepreneur Leo Kestel.
In a series of informal talks with varying focuses—sometimes in dialogue with experts—the curator will discuss the background and current status of her research.
Additional dates, including sessions in English, will be announced shortly.
