Beschreibung
[Published in conjunction with the final exhibition of the three-part series on artists who experienced life in exile
, 25 July—22 November 2020, Museum der Moderne Salzburg.]
The present catalogue gathers materials related to all three exhibitions on exile:
(2017),
(2018) and
(2020). With this carefully researched contribution to the historiography of exile, we also seek to strengthen the culture of remembrance; in addition to reconstructing the lives of refugee and emigrant artists, the books' authors offer in-depth discussions of their oeuvres and ideas that, we hope, will help protect them from oblivion.
“Not only do you have to adapt to a new life, you moreover have to try to somehow understand what actually happened and how you deal with it. An entire life goes by and you still don't understand it.” (
