Photographs capture memories. The exhibition focuses on communities of all kinds. Whether it’s a football fan club, family, political collective, school class or flat share – a moment, the status quo and a certain mood are always immortalised.
Since the invention of photography, the medium has not only captured a sense of belonging, but can also fuel or question it. The exhibition at the Kunstpalast highlights this multifaceted relationship and brings together both applied and artistic positions. Let yourself be surprised by the diverse, unusual, funny and exciting works on this tour and tell us which communities are and have been important to you in your life.

    Le fan club de football, la famille, le collectif politique : les êtres humains aspirent à la communauté. Depuis l’invention de la photographie, ce média ne se contente pas de fixer l’appartenance, il peut également l’alimenter ou la remettre en question. L’exposition au Kunstpalast met en lumière cette relation aux multiples facettes et rassemble des positions tant artistiques qu’appliquées. Laissez-vous surprendre par ces œuvres variées, insolites, drôles et passionnantes au cours de cette visite !

    An afternoon full of inspiring encounters. This time, we will take a joint look at the history of the Kunstpalast. When were the buildings in the Ehrenhof constructed? How did the diversity of the collection come about? In this special series, the focus is not only on art-historical background, but also on shared exchange and personal impressions. In dialogue with the group, selected artworks and artists will be presented.

    After the guided tour, we invite you to continue the conversations in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and cake.
    The price includes one slice of cake and a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice.

    This format is aimed at people who would like to enrich their everyday lives through new encounters and who are interested in art. No prior knowledge is required.

    Typical motifs in still lifes are flowers, fruits, and vessels, but also everyday objects that are artfully arranged and often have symbolic meaning. The appeal of these works of art lies above all in slowing down the gaze and rediscovering the beauty of everyday life. What do the pictures tell us about their time, about human values, and about transience? In the Kunstpalast collection, we discover works from different centuries.

    In addition to the art-historical background, this special series focuses on mutual exchange and personal impressions. Sometimes all it takes is a picture to start a conversation or bring back memories. Our experienced art educators guide you through the collection exhibition and introduce individual works of art or artists in dialogue with the group.

    After the tour, we cordially invite you to continue the conversation in a cozy atmosphere over coffee and cake.
