Anja Kirschner and David Panos Open the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart’s Archives for Exhibition

STUTTGART.- In the series “Open Archives” the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart invites artists to work with its collection. The series takes its starting points from the works and areas of the collection held in the archives of the museum —usually closed to the public —and from a discussion of the archive itself as a place of conservation and categorisation. “Open Archives” shows what has never been shown, what is rarely or not currently exhibited. From contemporary artistic and curatorial perspectives it activates the contents of the extensive collection and archives of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. The artists Anja Kirschner (b. 1977) and David Panos (b. 1971) from London are presenting their “Open Archives” selection in correspondence with their new film “The Empty Plan” which was produced with support from the Staatsgalerie
