Life

Lauter already worked at the Margarete Lauter Gallery in Mannheim during his school and high school days . From 1972 he studied art history, classical archeology, Christian archeology, philosophy and Romance studies at the University of Heidelberg and the University of Göttingen . At Peter Anselm Riedl's in Heidelberg, he became involved in variable plastic in 1984 . Doctoral thesis on the subject of changeability in the art of the 20th century . Since 1984 he has held a position as a research assistant, since 1989 as curator at the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt am Main , which moved to the new museum building in 1991. Since 1991 he has been chief curator and deputy director. He managed in-house exhibition projects and projects in the municipality and was involved in a supraregional advisory role in the new museum building in Bolzano . Between 1989 and 1994 he held lectureships on contemporary art at the University of Marburg , and later also at the University of Mannheim . From 2002 to 2007, Lauter was director of the Kunsthalle Mannheim , where he tried to thematize a new museum model in several exhibitions from 2003 to 2007 that was no longer based on the chronological, art-historical arrangement of the works of art, but on the principle of supra-cultural and supra-temporal correspondence of works with comparable content and aesthetic forms of expression.

After his much-discussed replacement from the management of the Kunsthalle (September 2007) by the municipality, Lauter was employed as a cultural representative for the fine arts for two years. During this time he developed numerous artistic and urban planning projects, of which the extensive exhibition artscoutone had a long lasting effect in the metropolitan region. Since then, Lauter has been involved in various projects to promote art in the Rhine-Neckar region and nationwide, for which he set up his own foundation .

Quotes

"Progressive topicality in a museum can only be achieved on the one hand by the consistent search for the new and not for the recognized in contemporary art, on the other hand by enabling a dialogue between the present and the past."
