Eric Meier in conversation with Heike Albrecht and Camille Compere

Five artists have created works especially for the exhibition “It wasn’t so long ago. And now the time has come. Susanne Kerckhoff”. On Sunday, 1 November 2026, one of them will be our guest: Eric Meier will present his work “Auf gute Nachbarschaft” in conversation with the curator Heike Albrecht and the art historian Camille Compere.


The exhibition is dedicated to the writer and journalist Susanne Kerckhoff (1918–1950). Between 1948 and 1949, she published the series “Menschen in unserer Zeit” (“People of Our Time”) in the *Berliner Zeitung*: fictional portraits that explored the issues grappling with which the young post-war society was struggling – guilt, denazification, anti-Semitism and the question of how democracy should even function.


The exhibition explores this series systematically for the first time. Visual art, composition and a literary intervention come together with Kerckhoff’s texts, each drawing on their own biographies, experiences and techniques.
