The hare is a widely used symbol in art and literature. The hare of Albrecht Dürer from 1502 is probably the most famous depiction of a hare. Joseph Beuys also used the symbolism of the hare in his influential 1965 performance entitled ‘Wie man dem toten Hasen die Bilder erklärt’. In the Marzee Collection there are many pieces of jewellery depicting hares and for this exhibition we have again asked our artists for an object or jewellery around this theme.

The exhibition features new work, made especially for this exhibition and existing work from among others the Marzee Collection. You can see work by, among others: Nicole Beck, Juliane Brandes, Antje Bräuer, Kathleen Fink, Carmen Hauser, Margit Jäschke, Rudolf Kocéa, Winfried Krüger, Susanne Kunz, Felieke van der Leest, Christine Matthias, Chequita Nahar, Ted Noten, Dorothea Prühl, Tabea Reulecke, Lucy Sarneel, Karin Seufert and Vera Siemund.
