Rohkunstbau - Altdöbern Castle
What is new? And how does it come into being? The 31st Rohkunstbau explores the possibilities and limits of transforming the existing.

“The Art of Transcending” is the theme of this year’s exhibition at Altdöbern Castle. The exhibition focuses on the perspective of those acting within a pre-established order—in short, on the logic of transcending the given to move toward something new.
At the same time, the 31st Rohkunstbau will fuel legitimate doubts as to whether everything that is new is necessarily better, thereby putting the modernist paradigm of progress to the test.
For does change toward something new necessarily mean progress?Or is change perhaps simply, quite banally, the result of moving beyond the existing state toward another? How, then, should this “other” be evaluated?And would it then necessarily be new?
