Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This catalog presents Ariel Reichman's powerful transformations of hate objects into art.

When Ariel Reichman stumbled onto Nazi memorabilia at a flea market, he felt the need to remove it from circulation. For his most recent project, he started buying Nazi-era metal objects on online platforms, melting them down, and casting them into new shapes. At this time, he also came across the Winter Relief of the German People, a program launched by Adolf Hitler in 1933, examining the propagandistic fundraising campaign promoted under the slogan "No one shall be hungry, no one shall freeze!". Small floral badges that donors to the campaign received in recognition of their contributions are reproduced in this catalog as polaroids, their blend of innocuous beauty and brutal calculation creating a deeply unsettling effect.

This exhibition catalog presents a selection of over eighty new works by Reichman. It contains a preface by Nils-Arne Kässens, an essay on the exhibition by the curator Mechthild Achelwilm, a contribution by Thorsten Heese on the Winter Relief of the German People, and a conversation between Sebastian Baden and the artist.
