| Summary |
Neolithic Childhood' examines how in the interwar years the artistic avant-gardes in Europe and beyond reacted to the?crisis? of almost everything, from the barbarism of technological mass war to the hypocrisies of colonial discourse. The perceived need to re-establish European civilization after the disaster of the First World War led to an interminable reconstruction of origins and beginnings - making?ground zero? the limiting function of modernity. Based on the writings of the anti-academic art historian Carl Einstein (1885?1940), the exhibition is devoted to despair over the present and the pressing interest in?altering? humanity, as manifested from the 1920s to the 1940s in the artistic avant-gardes and the sciences.00Exhibition: Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, Germany (13.04.-09.07.2018) |
