Together, we will embark on a discovery tour through the exhibition and look at artworks that tell us many different stories from various times. These are stories about past times and events, in Berlin, Istanbul, New York, but also in other cities and countries, that continue to occupy us to this day. Afterwards, you can create your own picture story with pen and paper.

During the summer holidays, time can feel like it’s racing by—yet when you’re waiting for the weekend, it almost seems to stand still. Time can flow, run, pass, or seem to stop altogether. It can heal wounds, but it can also wear down books and buildings. The many faces of time reveal how hard it is to define and how closely it’s tied to our personal experience. The artworks in the exhibition It’s Just a Matter of Time explore time from different angles. When does something become history? In a fleeting moment, are we still in the present or already slipping into the past? Join us as we reflect on these and other questions while exploring time creatively together.

Installations in contemporary art are three-dimensional, site-specific works. They are always based on a concept, a fundamental idea by the artist. Installations often question ideologies and value systems, frequently using everyday objects – sometimes even found objects. During our tour of the exhibition, we will focus on installations and the stories they tell. We will look at works by Georges Tony Stoll, Rosemarie Trockel, and Philippe Parreno, among others, and explore the concepts behind these and other installations. The aim is to understand how everyday objects are introduced into the art context and what meanings they take on in this context.
