Bucharest and Offenburg open their doors
Malgosia Jankowska will participate in two new exhibitions in the coming months. Dissonance and O(h) Wald will both be group exhibitions. Both exhibitions begin on 9 November. Dissonance will take place at the National Museum of Art of Romania, Bucharest and O(h) Wald at the Städtische Galerie Offenburg, Germany.
On the one hand, Dissonance comes to Bucharest from the municipal gallery in Kiel and will remain on view in Romania until 23 February 2025. The curators Christoph Tannert (artistic director of the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin) and Mark Gisbourne, present a view of the different artistic approaches and strategies that have emerged in Germany over the last three decades. International artists born after 1972, currently residing and working in Germany, have been selected. The country has a rich and diverse contemporary art scene due to the extreme plurality of themes in art. Today the main characteristic is the search for the self and identity.
The National Art Museum of Romania is the main holder of Romanian, European and Oriental art in the country. Located in the former Royal Palace in Bucharest, it includes the National Gallery (Romanian medieval and modern art) and the European Art Gallery. In addition to numerous temporary exhibitions, visitors can also take guided tours of the former Throne Room and other historically significant spaces. The Art Collections Museum, the KH Zambaccian Museum and the Theodor Pallady Museum are also part of the Romanian National Museum of Art.
The museum is open Wednesdays to Fridays from 10am to 6am, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 7pm. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Admission is free on the first Wednesday of the month.
On the other hand, O(h) Wald focuses on the forest as idyll, a place present in the collective consciousness as powerful and full of myths. The aim is to give importance to the permanent destruction of this natural space. The exhibition will be open until 27 April 2025 and will show artistic positions that address this ambivalence between admiration and deterioration of the forest. With works by Christine Brunella, Anne Carnein, Formafantasma, Philipp Fürhofer, Helge Hommes, Malgosia Jankowska, Mariele Neudecker, Caio Reisewitz, Martin Sander, Stefan Strumbel. Works by Achim von Heimburg and works from the municipal collection of Gretel Haas-Gerber complement the thematically structured exhibition.
