Berlin's Feinkost Gallery presents 'Communism Never Happened' exhibition marking fall of Berlin Wall anniversary

Aaron Moulton, director of Feinkost Galerie in Berlin, curated the exhibition 'Communism Never Happened' which ran from November 7, 2009 to December 20, 2009. The show was timed to coincide with Berlin's commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Moulton openly acknowledged his limited personal experience with communism, stating he had never read any works by Marx and didn't consider discussing communism to be part of his curatorial role. The exhibition was reviewed by Roni Ginach for ARTMargins Online in January 2010. Feinkost Galerie, located in Berlin, Germany, hosted this exhibition that deliberately avoided direct engagement with communist ideology despite its provocative title. Moulton's approach focused on presenting the exhibition rather than providing political commentary or historical analysis of communism. The timing of the exhibition created an intentional juxtaposition with Berlin's official celebrations of the historic event. The review appeared in the Exhibition Reviews section of ARTMargins Online's January 2010 issue.
