The Exhibition:

Disco balls, record covers, and slide viewers: Artist Joanna Schulte is exhibiting her works at Landestrost Castle in Neustadt am Rübenberge. Appropriately for the location, the exhibition plays with a nostalgic evocation, created through vivid, multimedia scenes that extend across the exhibition space. The installations incorporate materials such as lamps and furniture from the 1960s and 70s, disco balls, record covers, and slide viewers. Alongside these collective moments of remembrance, which reference a bygone everyday aesthetic, another element often emerges in Joanna Schulte's work: the narrative, frequently linked to the artist herself. The objects are emotionally charged, almost revived. She herself is the tireless author and sender of hundreds of historically significant first-day covers "To Oliver," the fictional addressee without a fixed address, who ultimately makes her the recipient of her own letters. The unattainable, absence, and repetition are important motifs in Joanna Schulte's art. The exhibition demonstrates, alongside the deliberately evoked nostalgia, that a return to the past is impossible.
