Exhibition Annett Gröschner / Arwed Messmer “Inventory of Power. The Berlin Wall from another Perspective” – Press tour and exhibition opening
On Wednesday, 12 October 2022, at 11:00 am, the exhibition “Inventory of Power. The Berlin Wall from a Different Perspective” by Annett Gröschner and Arwed Messmer will open at the Documentation Center Berlin Wall. The artists will give a press tour from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. The opening event for invited guests will begin at 6:30 pm.
In their joint exhibition, Annett Gröschner and Arwed Messmer present a new artistic perspective on the Berlin Wall. The focus of their work is the inventory or stocktaking of the border fortifications of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). These listings and inventories, which were created and continuously updated by the East German border guards, document the material equipment and personnel strength of the border regime and thus also the extent of the repressive apparatus of the SED dictatorship.
Gröschner and Messmer have transferred these archival documents into artistic installations and photographs. The result is a multifaceted and thought-provoking examination of the power structures and mechanisms of the SED dictatorship, which are still relevant to this day.
The exhibition is on view at the Documentation Center Berlin Wall from 13 October 2022 to 12 March 2023.
