Bundeskunsthalle Bonn: September 29, 2023 - January 28, 2024

Anything Goes, Alles auf einmal, Die Postmoderne, 1967 – 1992

September 29, 2023 till January 28, 2024, Bundeskunsthalle Bonn

1967 marked the beginning of our present: modernism, which believed it could sort everything out with equal houses, furniture and rights for all, was abandoned and a bizarre, eccentric world emerged from its ruins. Architects declared the amusement park to be the ideal city, designers freed themselves from good taste, and the struggle for self-realization took the place of systemic battles. New media synchronized the globe and images became the stage on which style and recognition were fought for.
