Opening Whisper Down the Lane &
Panorama XII with CILIA and Defetro
Thursday, 1.5.2025, 6–10 pm
Music, drinks and free admission at the Kunsthaus Hamburg
Every first Thursday of the month, the Kunsthaus foyer becomes a stage for a changing music program designed by Nguyen Phuong-Dan. Admission to the exhibition is free from 6 pm and drinks are available at the bar. This time, CILIA, consisting of the two artists Louis d’Heudières and Nina Kuttler, will be performing a live concert. Their current project Fe Fée combines text, performance and electronic music. It is a meditation on the life cycle of an iron ore and its mythologies, both contemporary and ancient. The concert will be accompanied by Defetro, who creates genre-free, timeless soundscapes in his DJ sets for Hallo Radio or as part of the Sontrra series at the Golden Pudel Club.
As part of the event, the next presentation of Whisper Down the Lane will take place.
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.
