Out of the Box – 75 Jahre Archiv der Akademie der Künste

Akademie der Künste, Pariser Platz

8 October 2025 to 18 January 2026

When literary scholar and journalist Alfred Kantorowicz (1899–1979) was appointed director of the Heinrich Mann Archive at the newly established Deutsche Akademie der Künste in East Berlin, there was no way of knowing that Mann’s estate would become the nucleus of a pan-German “Archive of the Arts”. Today, the Archives of the Akademie der Künste are considered the most important interdisciplinary collection of modern art and culture in the German-speaking world, with over 1,400  archives of artists from all disciplines as well as numerous collections from art institutions and art associations.

The 75 stories presented cover iconic works, such as Walter Benjamin's essay fragment “Was ist Aura?” (What Is Aura?), Anna Seghers’s novel The Seventh Cross, Bertolt Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera, John Heartfield’s collages, Käthe Kollwitz Mahnmal für den Frieden and Mary Wigman’s expressionist dances. They speak of the aura of objects, the order of things and the power of archives.
