First Leipzig Autumn Salon

Streaming video - 1984

In fall 1984, Lutz Dammbeck and five other young Leipzig artists secretly organized the sensational exhibition they called 1. Leipziger Herbstsalon (FIRST LEIPZIG AUTUMN SALON) in protest of official art exhibitions and failed reforms in the East German art market. The private exhibition lasted almost a month and challenged the authority of cultural officials. This film shows original footage, shot by cinematographer Thomas Plenert, of the artists preparing the exhibition the day before its opening.
