INTRODUCTION:
Rolf Lauter: While working in the gallery, he imagined the future,
Interview Mannheimer Morgen, 18.08.2005.
When he was only ten years old, Rolf
Lauter accompanied his mother Margarete Lauter to work in her gallery
in Mannheim every day after school (1963–1967). From 1967 to 1970 he
worked as assistant curator and from 1970 to 1984 as exhibition curator
at the Lauter Gallery.
In September 1984, completion of
studies in art history, classical archeology, Christian archeology,
Romance studies and philosophy at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität
Heidelberg with the inaugural dissertation "Variable Sculpture. Studies
on the phenomenon of changeability in 20th century three-dimensional
composition" to obtain the PhD from Prof. Dr. Peter Anselm Riedl.
Early 1984 Appointment by Peter Iden,
the founding director of the Frankfurt Museum für Moderne Kunst
(1978-1988), as the first curator of the Museum. During 1984-1991
responsible coordinator for the architecture of the new building and
the museography in cooperation with the Viennese architect Hans
Hollein. Lauter has been Chief Curator and Deputy Director from 1991 to
2002. From 1984-2002 he was responsible for the organization, budgeting
and administration of the museum as well as curator for the collection
and special exhibitions.
In 2002, the Head of the Department
of Culture in Mannheim appointed Lauter as Director at the Kunsthalle
Mannheim (2002–2007). Conception and realization of a new museum
concept under the title "The New Kunsthalle - A living Museum of
Dialogues". The basic idea behind the concept is the draft of a
"Collection model with a structured content", which dissolves the
traditional art-historical chronology of the collection and - based on
a "cross-over structure" - combines works from the collection with
international loans to create constellations with corresponding
content. In doing so, selected individual artistic positions from the
collection are brought together with works from a wide variety of media
from different global cultures and different historical times to create
congenial, essentially connected room installations. The concept was
implemented in several exemplary presentations (The New Kunsthalle
I-IV, Direct Painting, Full House: Faces of a Collection), combined
with specific architectural changes to the exhibition rooms, in the
years 2003-2007 and was concluded on the 100th anniversary of the
Kunsthalle in 2007.
At the end of 2007 he was transferred
to the position of commissioner for visual arts in the city of Mannheim
(2008-2009). During that time concepts for cultural urban development
including a "Culture-Topography Mannheim", a project "Art in the City",
a "Space-pool" to realize cultural projects, a "Kulturareal Jungbusch",
i.e. a conceptual reorientation of the «Hafenstrasse» with a "Belvedere
Jungbusch", an "Atelierhaus 1", a "Gallery of Artists", an "Art Campus"
with a "Temporary Contemporary" as well as a concept for a «Galerie der
Künste Mannheim E 5» an aesthetic and content-related redesign of the
Mannheim City Hall, Mannheim 2009. In summer 2009 conception,

works by 90 international artists in dialog with a selection of artists

March 2002 appointment as director at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. From
October 2002 to September 2007 director of the museum. Conception and
realization of a new museum concept under the title "The New Kunsthalle
- A living Museum of Dialogues".
The basic idea behind the concept is the draft of a "Collection model
with a structured content", which dissolves the traditional
art-historical chronology of the collection and - based on a
"cross-over structure" - combines works from the collection with
international loans to create constellations with corresponding
content. In doing so, selected individual artistic positions from the
collection are brought together with works from a wide variety of media
from different global cultures and different historical times to create
congenial, essentially connected room installations. The concept was
implemented in several exemplary presentations (The New Kunsthalle
I-IV, Direct Painting, Full House: Faces of a Collection), combined
with specific architectural changes to the exhibition rooms, in the
years 2003-2007 and was concluded on the 100th anniversary of the
Kunsthalle in 2007.

Present" and lecture in the Culture Committee of the Mannheim City
Council, November 21, 2002.
