The current presentation of the contemporary art collection consists of new acquisitions and works that have not been exhibited for a long time. The starting point is the drawing Untitled (Stilts) by Ulrich Meister. It depicts a pair of stilts, a children’s toy that has fallen into oblivion. Today, their shape is more reminiscent of crutches. This oscillation between humorous levity and somber seriousness resonates throughout all the exhibition spaces. Selected works from the art-historical collection establish connections spanning different eras. Time and again, the exhibits negotiate the attempt to overcome spaces, obstacles, societal attributions, and crises. Those who are hopeful these days may well need something to lean on. Or are those who have lost hope actually better positioned in the end?
