Made with the support of Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin, the exhibition Dissonance – Platform Germany #3 brings together 75 contemporary artworks in various techniques made by 43 international artists born after 1972, who live and work in Germany. The starting point was Dissonance – Platform Germany, authors Christoph Tannert and Mark Gisbourne (DVC, Berlin, 2022), which offers an overview of the various approaches and artistic strategies, especially pictorial, which has appeared in Germany for the past three decades. Researching the German contemporary art scene, the two authors of the study discovered an extreme plurality of phrases and themes in the field of painting, characterized today by heterogeneity and the affirmation of self and identity, by the development of a complex pictorial discourse in which the figurative coexist, abstractionism, popular culture, social-media, photography and techniques that come from advertising.
