The name says it all: „Die Lükke“ is an intervention by a group of artists dedicated to contextualisation. On two dates during the exhibition „Whose Expression? The artists of the Brücke in a colonial context“, the members installed a copy shop in the museum and produced „zines“ from B&W photographs of the objects for provenance research in the Kunsthaus Dahlem, objects, art catalogues, trivial literature as well as academic texts. These zines do not offer any answers, but collected  questions that the exhibition raised or could have raised. The investigations into German colonial history are in the embryonic stage, and there is still a long way to go before we can speak of recognition and reparations. Only now are museum institutions examining the biographies of celebrated „resistant“ artists in terms of their „true“ attitudes to and relationships in National Socialism. „Die Lükke“ investigated the gaps, connected threads and half-baked narratives that are no longer tenable. History is written by the victors, isn’t it?
