Since…
20.2.26 – 17.1.27

1946: Still scarred by the destruction of World War II, Haus am Waldsee was established in the villa built in 1922 for the Jewish textile manufacturer Hermann Knobloch. Over the following decades, it would go on to forge an acclaimed exhibition history. On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, the institution looks back on its founding years with the three part exhibition series Since…: from its structural conditions, the transformation from a private residence to an exhibition venue, to the ruptures and continuities of the post-war period, and the traces these events have left in the institution’s understanding of itself.

Since… is presented in the café, the villa’s former garage, on a display architecture designed by Georgian curator and archivist Nina Akhvlediani (lives and works in Tbilisi), which allows for flexible forms of presentation. Three exhibition chapters will be showcased on the display structure throughout the year. Developed by different artists, the exhibitions in the series highlight new perspectives on the history of the institution.
