On the occasion of the opening weekend of the anniversary exhibition »Listening to the Stones« in Kunsthaus Dresden, curated by Miya Yoshida in collaboration with Christiane Mennicke-Schwarz und Kerstin Flasche.
In the middle of the pandemic year of 2021, the Kunsthaus celebrates its 30th anniversary. On the opening weekend of the anniversary exhibition Listening to the Stones, persons who have accompanied the long history of the venue or whose paths have crossed will gather as narrators all over the building to briefly relate their very personal encounters with the Kunsthaus. This deliberately incomplete storytelling is not necessarily about establishing the truth, but perhaps also about myths and rumors – in any case, it is about each story being invigorated by direct encounters and exchange.
During the first year of German unification, when the Kunsthaus Dresden was founded, it was also entirely up in the air as to what the future would look like – it was and is crucial to act, to jointly develop ideas and visions and bring people together in the context of art.
