80 Works Between Reality, Imagination, and Longing

The exhibition “Rooms of Longing – Surrealism and Magical Realism of Art in the GDR” invites you to the art collection Neubrandenburg. The focus is on artistic positions from the GDR that are assigned to surrealism and magical realism. A total of around 80 works can be seen.

The exhibition offers insight into an art that engages with special image worlds, ideas, and forms of reality. Surrealistic and magical-realistic works can place familiar motifs in unfamiliar contexts and thereby create spaces for individual associations. The exhibition title refers to this special atmosphere between reality, imagination, and longing.
