Kunsthalle Rostock and Louisiana

The architect of Kunsthalle Rostock travelled to Louisiana to get inspiration in the sixties.  The city art gallery of Rostock was built in the end of 1960 in a park, almost like the museum of Modern Art in Denmark, but by a lake instead of the sea.

 

It was the first modern contemporary art gallery in DDR and it opened with grand ideas of an international program under the motto “Tor zur Welt”. The large windows with a view to the park, a beautiful inner courtyard and spacious rooms in several floors creates the impression of a little sister to Louisiana. Their collection hosts paintings, sculpture and graphic art, a lot from the DDR-times, but it also spans back from 1920 and forth.

 

The Baltic Sea-Biennial (Ostsee/Mare Balticum) was created here in the 80ties and 90ties, and now our co-operation within Art Line will awaken the idea of art in the Baltic region again, despite the tough economic times.

 

Here are some photos from Art Line meetings in Rostock Kunsthalle. On the photos are project coordinator Kristina Koebe, director Uwe Neumann, curator Ulrich Ptak, curator Agnieszka Wolodzko from CCA Laznia, curator Martin Schibli from Kalmar Konstmuseum and Art Line crew Annika Thelin and Aje Björkman.
