Since the late 1990s, Nic Hess (*1968 in Zurich, lives and works in Zurich and Los Angeles) has been using industrial paint, collaged images and colored tapes, light projections and neon to take mental and factual possession not only of walls and ceilings, but of entire rooms. In 2013, Nic Hess realized a comprehensive and expansive installation at the Kunst-Station in the main train station.

Nic Hess designed a spatial collage for the hallway in the south wing of the Städtische Galerie, based on an archive of hundreds of transparencies with the most diverse commercial logos, pictograms, images of masterpieces of art history, as well as political as well as economic icons. He transforms them into a new context, accessing stored images in the collective memory.

For the exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the KUNST-STATION, the artist Schirin Kretschmann (*1980 in Karlsruhe, lives and works in Berlin) had developed a painterly-installative spatial work that bathes the waiting area in the station concourse in a warm, golden-yellow light that evokes in us elementary physical experiences, at the same time opening up a wide field of individual associations and possibly also awakening in us certain longings for travel to exotic destinations.

Through the use of a very specific color tone, which unfolds in an elaborate, multi-stage process of spackling, sanding and paint application on a high-gloss surface, a unique interweaving of the everyday world, technical production, artistic creation and the architecture of Wolfsburg Central Station took place.

Deliberate recesses within this spatial work documented different material states of the working process, revealing not only the genesis of this temporary work of art. The surfaces defined by Schirin Kretschmann on site referred in a subtle way to the now 10-year history of this art station and the genesis of the Wolfsburg train station, as a place of lingering, departure and transit.

"RE_VISION" marked a turning point for the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg after more than 40 years of a program of exhibitions, publications, events, and collection activities at Wolfsburg Castle, and was intended to provide an opportunity for a critical examination of the past while also opening up the chance to re-explore the museum's current possibilities.

Throughout the project, practical and theoretical questions of museum work in the current social, artistic, economic, and cultural-political situation were discussed and addressed. The term "RE_VISION" thereby clarified the museum's intention in two respects: it wanted to turn less to showing art and more to questions about art, to confront and review the rules of the art system.

At the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, the artist collective KONSORTIUM re-staged and re-interpreted a radical art historical action. The Museum of Contemporary Art presented the documentation and results of this artistic re-action within its current exhibition program RE_VISION at Wolfsburg Castle until July 16, 2016.

The group of artists used the group BMPT (Buren, Mosset, Parmentier, Torini), founded by Daniel Buren in 1966, as a historical reference. In 1967, the group carried out four actions in Paris in which they demonstrated their radical rejection of the established art establishment.

The exhibition was in dialogue with the presentation of the spatial installation "N'EXPOSENT PAS!", which was realized by the artist group in the Kunst-Station at Wolfsburg Central Station.

April 14 - June 28, 2015

The exhibition presented print works by Hanna Nitsch (*1974 in Freiburg) for the first time. This series of works was created in the museum's print workshop and in cooperation with the Braunschweig Foundation, which awards the annual "Abdruck" workshop scholarship.

In the prints created in Wolfsburg, the artist combined different principles of representation from the sciences (e.g. X-ray images, fingerprints) for the identification of individual identity with subject-constituting narrative forms or juxtaposed them with one another. In doing so, she illuminated both the media-specific mechanisms of visual meaning production and the double aspect of the image as a subject-constituting and at the same time knowledge-constituting phenomenon.

The graphic works were presented in combination with other series of works such as video projections, ceramics and photographs by Hanna Nitsch.
