Une exposition qui a l’air très bien
The exhibition Periphery as a Place - The Hellersdorf Project, organised by Ulrich Domröse (departing curator for photography at the Berlinische Galerie), was first shown at the nGbK in Kreuzberg over 20 years ago. Now nGbK will present two of the photo series from that exhibition—urban landscapes by Ulrich Wüst and portraits of young people by Helga Paris—at its satelite location, the station urbaner kulturen in Hellersdorf. This revision will afford a new discussion about the work and will be complimented by additional works by both photographers.
For the exhibition in 1999 commissioned by the Wohnungsbaugesellschaft (housing association) Hellersdorf (WoGeHe), Ulrich Domröse invited the renowned artists Helga Paris and Ulrich Wüst, as well as Jens Rötzsch and Max Baumann, to explore the large Hellersdorf housing estate and to materialise their observations in photographic series.
