Between Cabinet of Curiosities and Present
The exhibition by Lothar Osterburg unfolds, according to the museum, multimedia imagery between dream, memory, and fantasy. Print graphics, heliogravures, photography, sculpture, model building, and video interact and form a visual language that invokes both historical art and wonder cabinets as well as today's museum as a space for thought. Among other things, the cycles Piranesi, Babel, Alternative New York, and Waterline can be seen.

AI as a Mediator in the Museum
The tour with artificial intelligence expands the traditional museum tour into an experimental format of art mediation. Especially in HAUM, whose collections range from paintings and sculptures to applied arts, an exciting dialogue emerges between historical aura and digital presence. The result is not merely a technology demonstration but a reflective conversation about seeing, interpreting, and understanding in the museum.

An Artist Between Braunschweig and New York
Lothar Osterburg was born in 1961 in Braunschweig, has lived in the USA since 1987, and has taught for over 25 years at Bard College.
