CURATOR’S CHOICE
CURATORS SHOWING A FAVORITE WORK
Opening: 29.06.2018, 19 Uhr / 7 p.m.

In this upcoming exhibition, Galerie Springer Berlin is presenting a completely new and exciting exhibition concept. Heide and Robert Springer have invited 14 photography curators from different cities in Germany and Switzerland to present a work or a small group of works. The decision was completely free for each individual.

There was no topic specification. Rather, it should be personally favoured works, thrillingly felt random encounters or carefully selected from one's own professional work - regardless of the content or commercial aspects of the gallery. The result is surprising and fascinating at the same time. The selection made by the 14 curators covers a wide range of different topics, styles, times or genres.

The exhibition shows classic vintage photographs from the early 1950s as well as contemporary photography. It includes world-class artists as well as photographers who have barely been seen in exhibitions so far. The free choice of the curators, the collegial encounter in a common project, as well as the interaction of the different positions in the gallery rooms, are for Heide Springer the peculiarity of this exhibition.

The choice of works made independently by the curators reveals surprising or conclusive themes, connections, contexts or opposites.

The different, interconnecting rooms of the gallery offer the work variety and possibilities for an exciting presentation. The Berlin curator Franziska Schmidt will assist Heide and Robert Springer in the conception and realization of the exhibition. Let yourself be surprised by this extraordinary and unique exhibition.
