The Opposite of Now
Artistic Paths to a Different Present – Curator's Tour (in German)
To mark its 25th anniversary, the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) is inviting its audience to move on from the present while encountering 12 artistic projects, and to search for approaches that can change society. The projects will be developed specially for the exhibition and aim to encourage the public to engage with an often oppressive present in order to counter it with their own ideas.

Old Building, ground level, “Meeting Point” in the foyer

The perspective of the Jewish minority, which has had to endure many insufferable presents throughout its history, is one of the starting points for The Opposite of Now. The exhibition calls for a turnaround, an opposite, a better life for all.
Curator Shelley Harten will introduce the artistic projects, explain the exhibition’s conceptual framework, and invite participants to join a discussion about The Opposite of Now.
Artists: Yael Bartana, Andrea Büttner, Chto Delat, Arnold Dreyblatt, William Forsythe, Dana Kavelina, Alexander Kluge, Daniel Laufer, Dor Zlekha Levy, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Alona Rodeh, Eran Schaerf.
