In 1926, the Ehrenhof complex and its surroundings hosted the Great Exhibition for Public Health, Social Welfare and Physical Exercise (GeSoLei), the largest fair of the Weimar Republic, which attracted roughly 7.5 million visitors. Sport formed one of its key areas, a strand we pick up a century later and translate into a contemporary format. Rings, a rowing machine, a ping-pong table, a balance board and more will be placed throughout the collection galleries. Visitors are invited to use the equipment: a way to experience the exhibition differently and to set their own physical rhythm in dialogue with the art on view.
