Panorama XXIV

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.

In July, 23qs will be performing: the solo project by musician and designer Quirin Nebas blends numerous styles and moods into harmonious mixtures. Eclectic music, ranging from atmospheric depths to dynamic excesses, which can be described as glitter drone, grunge pop, hypergloom, bedroom fog, cloud rock, plash metal or shroomtune. Before and after the concert, Laetizia will be playing, moving between IDM, bass music, leftfield sounds and deconstructed beats. In her sets, she combines experimental soundscapes with propulsive energy, creating dense, hypnotic atmospheres.

Entry to the exhibition is free throughout the evening, cold drinks are available at the bar. At 6 pm, Kunsthaus curator Jaana Heine will lead a public guided tour offering insights into the themes of Melike Kara’s solo exhibition Whispers.

Thanks to the format 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.
