Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst 2009
Keren Cytter, Omer Fast, Annette Kelm and Danh Vo
11 September 2009 – 3 January 2010
PRIZE OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY FOR YOUNG ART 2009
The exhibition at the Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin is presenting new works of art by the four nominated artists. Keren Cytter has written and produced three films about grotesque and violent crimes which are circulating as news in the internet. Omer Fast has made a trilogy of films in which reality intertwines with fiction bordering on the surreal. The most sinister scenes were filmed in a deserted underground station in London. Annette Kelm has paved the way for a new kind of photography using a superficially clear, but in reality deeply enigmatic pictorial language. New individual works and series of works are on display. Finally, Danh Vo has planted a garden on the roof of the Hamburger Bahnhof, which represents rather the opposite of an idyllic place, since it is making allusions to the Christian missionary work in his homeland, Vietnam.
An exhibition of the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, made possible by the Verein der Freunde der Nationalgalerie in cooperation with BMW.
