Over 50 works by artists with a focus on fundamental democratic values such as freedom, self-determination and human dignity will be shown at the Sammlung Moderne Kunst Summer Exhibition at Herrenchiemsee Palace. Masterpieces from Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen from classical modernism to the present day will be juxtaposed with site-specific installations. In an original and concise way, the artists explore conventions and roles in their works as well as forms of self-expression and values with regard to both the individual and society. Their observations on historical events are unsparing, especially in retrospect, and translate painful experiences into images that stand the test of time. In this way the exhibition draws on the Constitutional Convention which took place on Herrenchiemsee in August 1948 that forms the basis of the German constitution and to which the exhibition “The Will to Freedom and Democracy” is dedicated in the Old Palace. Curators: Verena Hein and Oliver Kase With the generous support of International Patrons of the Pinakothek e.V. and PIN. Friends of the Pinakothek e.V.
