The doors of the Kunsthaus stay open longer for the Panorama event series. From 6 pm, the foyer of the institution becomes a stage for a changing music programme conceived by Nguyen Phuong-Dan. In May, Hamburg-based musician, DJ and video artist Helena Ratka, aka Pose Dia, will be performing a concert which unfolds at the intersection of audio and visual: noises, words and voices become instruments just as much as the visual staging. In addition, BEEK co-founder Ters (Philip Peters) will be playing a DJ set with compositions navigating between liminality, formalism and noise.
Thanks to the formats established since 2024, the foyer of the Kunsthaus Hamburg is increasingly developing into an open space for people to come together. The programme emphasises the role of the Kunsthaus as a spatial and discursive hub within the city and at the same time ties in with the early years of the institution, which was founded in 1962 on the initiative of regional artists. In the original building of the Kunsthaus, which was once located at Ferdinandstor, the in-house restaurant Panorama with a view of the Inner Alster Lake offered a place for visitors to rest and socialize. The title Panorama not only refers to the spatial aspect, but also to the width of the visual and auditory field of perception as well as to a diverse spectrum of artistic perspectives.
