This exhibition is not a review of 181 years of the association’s history, but a survey of the current work of VdDK members. Positions from all artistic genres are presented: Painting, graphic art, sculpture, photography, and media art. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive supporting program. The association VdDK 1844 was founded for “mutual help and support”. Solidarity, cooperation, and DIY have always driven the artists. As the second oldest still existing artists’ association in Germany, the VdDK has a rich tradition that has a profound impact on Dusseldorf’s urban society. The association currently has more than 280 members.
More than 220 artists are participating with about 250 artworks in the exhibition at Kunsthalle Dusseldorf. Maria Anna Dewes and Myriam Thyes are showing their video installation FIRST AID – TEST SERIES 1.
