What could the primarily Western collection of the Nationalgalerie
look like today if a global understanding of art had informed its
development? Looking at artworks from non-European centres of
Modernism and their activities, untold stories and overlooked
connections are picked up and developed. The Nationalgalerie Berlin
subjects its collection to a critical revision, focusing on those
areas of the collection which are not central to a Western
understanding of art. Starting points include Heinrich Vogeler's
turn to the Soviet Union, the Dadaist Tomoyoshi Murayama's sojourn
in 1920s Berlin, and Joseph Beuys' collaborations with Nicolas
Garcia Uriburu. The result is a narrative of art from 1900 to the
present which, from a global perspective, selectively takes up and
explores historical, international, and transregional connections
between artists and cultural contexts.
