„Geschichte findet statt.“
In the exhibition “History takes place”, the artist examines the relationship between history and urban and rural space. She understands the title as a formula from which the following questions arise for her: How does history manifest itself in space? How does it occupy spaces and how does this occupation of spaces become the goal of history? In 2023, Andrea Pichl had the opportunity to study the history of the resistance group against National Socialism, the Kreisau Circle, and the traces of overlapping social orders and times during a scholarship stay in Krzyzowa, Poland, formerly known as Kreisau.
Her observations of the town and its immediate surroundings form the material for the expansive installation and film shown at the Pankow Gallery. On the basis of the photographs from today's Krzyzowa and their artistic presentation, she examines in detail how the superimpositions of different social conditions visible in the space reveal themselves in the sense of historical memories or a palimpsest and at the same time flow into private designs.
Andrea Pichl (born 1964 in Haldensleben, Saxony-Anhalt) studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 1991 to 1997 and graduated with a Master of Arts from Chelsea College of Art & Design in London in 1998. This was followed by numerous national and international exhibition projects. Andrea Pichl lives and works in Berlin.
