Verdeckte Adressaten

July 15, 2011 to July 28, 2011

A curatorial project on the relationship between information and the public, in two parts. With contributions by the artists Loek Grootjans, Katrin Mayer and the artist group Metahaven. Curated by Doreen Mende, Axel J. Wieder and PLATFORM3.

PLATFORM3 is delighted to present a joint project initiated by the White Rose Foundation e.V., which explores the role of pamphlets as a means of political resistance. <Verdeckte Adressaten> examines historical forms of media communication as well as the distribution paths of regime-critical content, with the goal of transposing them into the present and developing new artistic formats to house them.
This project was initiated in memory of Dr. h.c. Anneliese Knoop-Graf. She was the younger sister of Willi Graf, one of the members of the Weiße Rose murdered by the Gestapo, and worked tirelessly until her death on August 27th, 2009 to further the legacy of the Weiße Rose. In his farewell letter on the day of his execution on October 12, 1943, Willi Graf asked his sister to convey one last wish to their friends: "They must continue what we have started."
