Welcome to voices, the new online platform by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. A digital exhibition space, ON SCREEN features art and moving images in thematic program series that accompany our exhibitions and extend them into the digital space. VOICES MAG, our new digital magazine, presents essays, interviews and opinion pieces on exhibitions, art and culture and issues of the day, with a focus on sustainability and the trans-cultural.
Counterpoints: Focus China (curated by Mia Yu) Despite the shared history of socialism, contemporary China and the former GDR resist simplistic, point-by-point comparisons and references. Still, thinking about the former GDR in proximity to China, and vice versa, serves as a useful and productive approach. These selected artists have critically engaged revolutionary histories, languages, aesthetics, architectural spaces and dislocated ideologies. Their films compose an alternative collage of trans-historical storylines, trans-local connections and disjuncture. Through such collage, China, the former GDR as well as all other locales with shared socialist histories and unresolved traumas may serve as refracted images of one and another.

Interested in the appropriation of symbolic gestures, Paris-based artist Yao Qingmei often resorts to the poetics of comedy to expose the absurdity of socio-political issues. Her film The Trial is conceived as an absurdist theatre in which the artist herself performs as a militant figure in uniform. As she interrogates three vending machines, she appropriates the exaggerated gestures of the revolutionary speaker and the archaic language typically employed in communist ideological discourse. Yao Qingmei’s portrayal pokes fun at the cumbersome communist ideology in China and also prompts questions on the meaning of hierarchy and symbolism of authority today.

Having studied in the U.S., Beijing-based artist Wang Tuo has been preoccupied with the relationship between inaccessible archives and historical memory. His 2019 film Obsessions explores the remnants of the revolutionary past as preserved in the architecture of Fusuijing Building in Beijing. Constructed in the late 1950s, the residential compound once stood as an embodiment of socialist ideals. Today, however, it lies semi-deserted. Wang Tuo adeptly recuperates the architectural space as a stand-in for the human subconscious. As the camera navigates through the labyrinthian interior, the narrator sets out on a journey to explore the deepest corners of his psyche, while trying to heal an unspeakable trauma.

Pu Yingwei’s performance-based video Memory Video -- Ballad of Contour (2017) was filmed in one of the French utopian housing projects built in the 1960s. Ironically, the filming location is also where terrorist attacks have taken place in recent years. For the artist, the juxtaposition of the failed utopian ideal and the present-day social conundrum in France reminds him of the complex reality in China today.

A native of Taipei, Berlin-based artist Musquiqui Chihying is concerned with the construction and mediation of history and remembrance. So is the Saxon-born artist Gregor Kasper. In The Guestbook (2018), they weave the fragmentary narratives from German colonial history and Chinese revisionary history into a speculative storyline. Through unexpected reverberations between people and places, the artists put the Sino-African relations under question.
