The digital photography collection of Harald Hauswald was acquired at the end of 2017 by the Federal Foundation for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship. It represents a valuable collection from one of the most significant photographers from the GDR. Hauswald’s snapshots from everyday life in East Berlin provide insight into a bygone era, and which acquired public acclaim and support following the toppling of the regime in 1990. The current collection is in the process to be expanded and by the end of 2019 is expected to include the photographer’s entire life work in digitalized form.

The collection of photographs by Croatian conceptual artist Tomislav Gotovac presents four performances (Reading the Newspapers, Listening to the Radio, Watching Television and Telephoning) from the 1980 and 1981 in which the artist awaited the death of Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito, thus underscoring the social and media psychosis of that moment. The work used a subversive strategy by which the artist indirectly drew the public and socialist regime into the performance, leaving them to think: what is the artist showing?

Jerzy Ludwiński Archive at the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum is a permanent exhibition which presents the achievements and works of Jerzy Ludwiński, as well as some items that belonged to him. Ludwiński was one of the most important neo-avant-garde critics and theoreticians in the 1960s and the 1970s. He was a visionary, predicting the evolution of art in a post-art epoch. The exposition is completed with the works of artists befriended with Ludwiński or those who developed his ideas. Gathered materials belong to the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum and to the Zacheta Lower Silesian Fine Arts Association. At the same time, Jerzy Ludwiński Archive serves as a repository, as well as a research space, devoted to developing further reflection on current art.

The Collection of Jindřich Chalupecký at the Museum of Czech Literature testifies to the life of this important literary and art critic who was “banned” during the communist regime and it represents a valuable source documenting the entanglements between non-official Czechoslovak art and leading world artists and theoreticians.
