Exhibitions

This fall, the Deutsche Telekom will debut parts of its art collection ACT – Art Collection Telekom with the exhibit “Fragile Sense of Hope“ at me Collectors Room/Olbricht Foundation Berlin.

“Fragile Sense of Hope“ conveys the aesthetic and intellectual journey of building a young collection with a focus on contemporary art from Eastern and Southeastern
Europe. With insights into the narrative power of this largely unkown art scene, the exhibit offers the unexpected discovery of high artistic standard that is often
defined by other art historical developments in Eastern Europe. The exhibit broadens horizons and invites visitors to contemplate the fragility of Europe’s many private and
public hopes.

The Art Collection Telekom would like to document and shape Eastern Europe’s exciting artistic developments, while responding to the societal and political impact of the
fall of the Iron Curtain. By supporting the visual arts, the collection aims to contribute to the appreciation of Europe’s cultural diversity.

On display will be works by Mihuţț Boșcu Kafchin (Romania), Danica Dakić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Stanisław Dróżdż (Poland), Petra Feriancova (Slovak Republic), Igor Grubić (Croatia), Nilbar Güres (Turkey), Aneta Grzeszykowska (Poland), Petrit Halilaj (Kosovo), Vladimir Houdek (Czech Republic), Šejla Kamerić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Genti Korini (Albania), Eva Kotátková (Czech Republic), Zofia Kulik (Poland), Ciprian Muresan (Romania), Paulina Olowska (Poland), Roman Ondák (Slovak Republic), Dan Perjovschi (Romania), Agnieszka Polska (Poland) und Mladen Stilinović (Serbia).

An accompanying program will feature talks and discussions about the status of the contemporary art scene in Eastern Europe.

The exhibit is curated by Nathalie Hoyos and Rainald Schumacher, and organized in conjunction with the meCollectors Room/Olbricht Foundation.
