Panorama XVI

The doors of the Kunsthaus stay open longer on the first Thursday of every month 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. This time, the loose group Cloud Management – based somewhere between Hamburg and Malaga – will be playing one of their hypnotic live sets, ranging from dragging dub jams to psychedelic neo-Kraut. Before and after, there will be an eclectic DJ set by record collector and Plattenrille owner Christopher Zielske. The exhibition Printer's Proof will be open throughout the evening.

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.
