SCHIRIN KRETSCHMANN
September 21, 2025 – Februar 8, 2026
Opening: Sunday, September 21, 2025 11 a.m.

 

The artist Schirin Kretschmann (b. 1980 in Karlsruhe, lives in Berlin) works in the overlapping fields of installation painting and performance. At the invitation of the PEAC Museum, she is developing a site-specific exhibit for which she is radically recoding the exhibition spaces. Instead of presenting individual works, she will transform the space’s structure into a zone of lively interaction, where events large and small, loud and quiet, continually intermingle and relate to one another. The spatial and temporal experience of Kretschmann’s work is marked by spontaneous coincidences, loops, patterns, pauses, and synaesthetic interconnections. She challenges visitors to break away from linear orders of perception and to understand an exhibition as more than a one-time event limited by time and place. 

 

Schirin Kretschmann studied fine art, art education, and German literature in Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Mexico City, Basel, and Weimar. Since the early 2000s, her work has been shown internationally in numerous museum and gallery exhibitions. In addition, Kretschmann has realized several art projects in public spaces. As part of her long-term artistic and curatorial research, she has been developing projects for indoor and outdoor spaces at Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen since 2022. Schirin Kretschmann completed her doctorate at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar on „Painting in an expanded field of action“ and has been Professor of Painting and Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich since 2020.

BETWEEN WHITE WALLS...

20 YEARS OF PEAC MUSEUM – AN EXHIBITION IN TWO ACTS

February 18–July 21, 2024

PEAC Museum is turning 20! The anniversary exhibition Between white walls… tells the story of a collection: it traces the evolution of a museum from its beginnings as a single individual’s passion to an open and vibrant place for everyone.

Between white walls... will feature around 60 works from the collection. Among them are new acquisitions that are being exhibited for the first time. The show features works that were groundbreaking for the PEAC Museum and continue to shape its identity to this day: some works extend the painting into space, others enter into an intense relationship with the viewer, or they draw attention to their own materiality.

The exhibition draws associative, thematic and art-historical links between the works, thus widening the focus from just the collection itself to exhibition practices as a whole. What changes when works of art are presented together? What stories are constructed, what connections or contradictions emerge, and how does this space between the white walls function?

While the collection forms the thematic anchor of the exhibition, the narrative is by no means static. The exhibition is composed of two acts: the first act explicitly invites visitors to share their perspectives and help shape the way the collection is presented.

In the exhibition’s second act (from June 7, 2024), the museum will be transformed once again and will show Kelly Tissot, the winner of the Paul Ege Art Prize 2024, alongside the collection works on display. The prize is awarded every three years in cooperation with the city of Freiburg and is aimed at emerging artists from the tri-border region who are selected by an independent jury of experts.

Artists in the exhibition include: Paul Ahl, Marc Angeli, Frank Badur, Joachim Bandau, Stephan Baumkötter, Tom Benson, Reto Boller, Astha Butail, Max Cole, Rudolf de Crignis, Rolf-Gunter Dienst, Joseph Egan, Henrik Eiben, Paul Fägerskiöld, Rupprecht Geiger, Florian Haas, Marcia Hafif, Katharina Hinsberg, Günther Holder, Gottfried Honegger, Alfonso Hüppi, Ben Hübsch, Sophie Innmann, Donald Judd, Judith Kakon, Dieter Kiessling, Martina Klein, Imi Knoebel, Brigitte Kowanz, Zora Kreuzer, Russel Maltz, Joseph Marioni, Annette Merkenthaler, Michael Mathias Prechtel, David Rabinowitch, Franziska Reinbothe, Michael Reisch, Winston Roeth, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Antonio Scaccabarozzi, Adrian Schiess, Astrid Schindler, Anna Schütten, Paul Schwer, David Semper, Phil Sims, Anne Sterzbach, Maria Tachmann, Michael Toenges, Peter Tollens, Günter Umberg, Michael Venezia
