Anselm Kiefer: Herbst Solo exhibition at the Heredium

Heredium, a multicultural arts space, proudly announces its inaugural exhibition Herbst. This momentous showcase not only marks the opening of the museum but also signifies the establishment of a vibrant art hub in the heart of the Daejeon region. With Herbst, Heredium aims to illuminate the realm of contemporary art, firmly establishing itself as a cornerstone of cultural diversity and artistic expression.

Anselm Kiefer, a renowned German artist pays profound tribute to the esteemed Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Through a captivating series of paintings, Kiefer draws inspiration from Rilke's poignant verses dedicated to the autumn season.

The exhibited works resonate deeply with the museum's history. Heredium's origin emerges from the shadows of a tragic past—rooted in the era of Japanese colonial authority in Korea—followed by the upheavals of the Korean War. However, this very structure, once poised for oblivion, has experienced a remarkable rebirth as Heredium. It stands today as a living testament, preserving the echoes of yesteryears while charting a new narrative, enriching the lives of the local community in profound ways.

Herbst not only encapsulates the essence of Anselm Kiefer's artistic prowess but also encapsulates Heredium's enduring commitment to honoring heritage, forging anew, and fostering a flourishing cultural legacy that resonates with each visitor.
