Every year, the Stiftung Niedersachsen honours a personality from the art scene of Lower Saxony with an edition of the "Kunst der Gegenwart" book series. The books are a recognition and honour for the artists, most of whom can look back on a remarkable career and an extensive body of work. Each artist is given the opportunity to design the monograph according to their own wishes. The respective new publications will be accompanied by an exhibition at the Sprengel Museum Hannover. In 2024 Thomas Rentmeister has been selected for the established monograph series.
d23 stands for Dorfstraße 23 in Klein-Reken, the address of Thomas Rentmeisters parental home. Rentmeister took his mother's move to a residential care home and the associated dissolution of the household as an opportunity to reflect on his own history. In his exhibition at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, he transforms all mobile objects that were still in the house such as household goods, furniture and many personal items into an extensive spatial installation.
