October 22, 2011 – February 5, 2012. The presentation of more than 150 artworks and plenty of documents brought the visitor back to exciting events on Aachen’s cultural scene. Institutions such as Galerie Aachen, Gegenverkehr – Zentrum für aktuelle Kunst, and the Neue Galerie im Alten Kurhaus became internationally known catalysts for the art tendencies that today shape our concepts of art—Fluxus, performance art, conceptual art, new forms of photography, film, music, and literature, Pop Art, and the many forms of realism that emerged in the 1970s. The exhibition featured a video art section that presented a selection of tapes from the collection of the Ludwig Forum. A catalogue was published.
