The exhibition "
Geniale Dilletanten" (Brilliant Dilletantes) presents a comprehensive survey of 1980s German subculture: a rich array of video, audio, photos, record covers, gig posters and other artefacts.
Initiated and curated by the Goethe-Institut, the exhibition showcases the work of experimental bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten, Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft (DAF) and Die tödliche Doris, as well as visual artists, filmmakers and designers from West and East Germany.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a rich program of concerts, panel discussions, and artist talks featuring eyewitness accounts by protagonists such as Einstürzende Neubauten and Automat guitarist Jochen Arbeit and Love Parade founder Dr Motte, who were involved in the scene at the time and have been active artists since then.
