The works of eleven artists are telling stories which could occur in the exact same way: in a studio, on boulevards in Brooklyn or in one’s favorite pub in Leipzig-Lindenau. From 6th until 27th of April 2016, the Goethe-Institut Hanoi presents the exhibition Storyteller – Contemporary Art from Leipzig in cooperation with the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts at the premises of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum. As part of the exhibition, we present video works in the nearby Goethe-Institut.

Since the 1970s the art world uses the term Leipziger Schule. However, it is not a consistent style which interconnects the associated artists Bernhard Heisig, Wolfgang Mattheuer and Werner Tübke, but their domain: the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. The exhibition Storyteller presents works of the third generation, which has been shaped particularly by the students of Heisig and Mattheuer – Sighard Gille and Arno Rink – and which still reveals a tendency to tell stories.
