From the Cosmos to the Commons
Since October, the project City Curator has been part of the Kunsthaus Hamburg. On Thursday, 5 December, the new City Curator Joanna Warsza will give an outlook on a new chapter of the project in the foyer of the institution – on the threshold between the city and the exhibition space: in conversation with Kunsthaus director Anna Nowak, Joanna Warsza will present her programme under the title From the Cosmos to the Commons as well as her new team and some of the artists and contributors. Food and wine will be served.
The Panorama event series takes place in the foyer of the Kunsthaus on a regular basis: every first Thursday of the month from 6 pm to 10 pm, DJ and music curator Nguyen Phuong-Dan presents a changing programme consisting of live performances and DJ sets. For the December edition, he has invited Felix Kubin, who will play electronic, futuristic avant-garde music from the 1970s and 1980s. The live act of the evening is the French-Vietnamese composer, musician and producer Margaux Gazur. In her performance Ngũ Hành Sonic Experiment she explores the Vietnamese concept of the five elements – water, earth, metal, wood and fire – and their influence on our common, planetary life.
City Curator is an independent curatorial programme for art in public space that was initiated in Hamburg in 2013 and has since seen several sister editions in Germany and abroad. Its aim is to draw attention to both Hamburg’s important and often overlooked public art collection as well as to address key social and political topics with temporary public art interventions. In 2024, the City Curator project was relaunched as a cooperation between the Ministry of Culture and Media Hamburg and the Kunsthaus Hamburg, connecting the local and the international, the inside and the outside, the ebbs and flows of public life.
