From here - two months of new German art in Düsseldorf
From here - Two months of new German art in Düsseldorf was the title of an art exhibition organized by the city of Düsseldorf and the Society for Current Art Düsseldorf eV in Hall 13 at Messe Düsseldorf from September 29 to December 2, 1984 . The curator Kasper König was responsible for the artistic direction and the organizational implementation . The show was intended to help the city of Düsseldorf to regain a higher position in the art world, so that it could be on a par with the rival city of Cologne in terms of art.
The exhibition brought together 68 artists of contemporary art, 63 of whom were directly located in the floor plan of the exhibition, in a hall that was not culturally understood at the time and was spatially designed by the architect Hermann Czech . Were shown, among other sculptures , paintings , graphic works , object and video art and installations . The lettering used for the exhibition from here bore the handwriting of Joseph Beuys and was also designed by him. At the time, the media were conspicuously strong in criticizing Kasper König's approach and the artist's selection of works, but in retrospect the exhibition is one of the most important in Germany in the 1980s.
