Abstract

The Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven is a gallery of contemporary art with a commitment to a broad spectrum of artists whose work predominantly straddles the media of architecture and painting, painting and drawing, and sculpture and performance. In addition, the Kunsthalle’s 1968 building in the tradition of the Bauhaus has a number of unusual spac- es which have already inspired several artists to come up with room-specific installations. Alongside Gereon Krebber, Cécile Hummel, Michael Schmeichel and Clemens Botho Goldbach, Lothar Götz will convert the main hall into a colour space and thus form a link with his first mural shown in the context of the group exhibition 1968. Architektur in Bewegung (2008), which he realized with the then exposed filigree roof construction of the Kunsthalle in mind.
