Robert Conrad – Abriss vom Berliner Ahornblatt, Berlin-Mitte 2000
The title Angst + Wut (Fear + Anger) is intended as a dialog between the past and current problems such as housing shortages and gentrification, which are clearly present in Robert Conrad’s pictures. His photographs of demolished houses, the squatter and punk scene, as well as the old bourgeois Prenzlauer Berg are more than mere nostalgia. They are signs of a lifelong demonstrative and not least political stance.
Robert Conrad’s extensive photographic estate is part of the Robert Havemann Society’s archive of the GDR opposition. The exhibition is a cooperation between the Robert Havemann Society and Galerie Parterre.
