From April 23, 2023 - With Schiller's thesis on the element of play in culture in mind, we were once again providing insights into the "Reinking Collection".
In all cultures, the constraints of nature and the violence of instincts are civilized through devotion to the selfless and a sense of the superfluous in play. Culture is above all the embodiment of freedom.
A story of postmodern and contemporary art was told from the spirit of the game. "Themed rooms" dealt with social and cosmic conditions and connections like a laboratory: the search for identity and gender, playing with time and space, body and nature.

The exhibition showed the "homo ludens", the playing people, in a double interpretation: In the definition of a researching artistry, which deals with its own reality in experimental arrangements and considerations, defines its visual language and thus finds a personal artistic vocabulary. As well as in the collector's creative play with the selected objects. The collector "paints" himself, as Duchamp so aptly put it, "his own collection". By selecting, combining and arranging, he becomes the “artist squared”. (Marcel Duchamp)

The Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga underscores Schiller's reflections on aesthetics in his major work Homo Ludens: On the Origin of Culture in Play, 1938.
The play of art encourages man to play with all his powers through reason, feeling, imagination, memory and expectation. By saying “The modern apparatus of publicity, with literary exaggerated art criticism, with exhibitions and lectures, Huizinga is suitable for increasing the playful character of art expressions”, Huizinga also anticipates what is happening in today’s art world with all its degeneration.
Away from the effective world of the "modern art apparatus", the Reinking Collection primarily aims at a very human self-disclosure of the world.
Sometimes with a wink, sometimes with deep seriousness, we show more than 80 international artist positions in a dialogue that spans cultures and generations. Visitors are invited to explore the facets of the world by looking at the works and their mutual relationships, and to learn more about themselves in the process.
