Uncertain Times, Germany Between Wars
to
CaixaForum Barcelona Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia 6-8, 08038 Barcelona
The Weimar Republic shook concepts that had previously been unquestionable in German society: gender roles, music, the notion of authority, the workers' struggle, architecture, quantum physics, aesthetics and even technology as an artistic expression. All of this was subject to a critical and innovative review. Uncertainty became the spirit of the times and the paradigm shift opened the doors to our current way of understanding reality.
Through photographs, painting, sculpture, scenography, music, interactive games and projections, this exhibition offers a cross-sectional view of the rich period in which figures such as Thomas Mann, Käthe Kollwitz and Otto Dix lived and stood out. Transformations, great crises, profound instability, tensions and opportunities, in a dialogue between the past and the present.
