Panorama I
with Tintin Patrone and Raspe
Thursday, 4 April 2024, 6–10 pm
Free admission
From April, the new series of events with the title Panorama will take place at the foyer of the Kunsthaus on the first Thursday of every month from 6 to 10 pm. The next evenings’ music programme consisting of live acts and DJ sets will be conceived by the DJ and music curator Nguyen Phuong-Dan. The series will kick off on 4 April with the sound and performance artist Tintin Patrone presenting a new live programme in duo with a hologram and the Hamburg-based DJ Raspe.
At the same time, two new presentations will open in the foyer. Within the experimental and communicative exhibition format Whisper Down the Lane, the roles and functions of hosting and being hosted become fluid. In the manner of the eponymous children’s game, in which information is passed on in a whisper, the exhibiting artists themselves choose the next person. Jaewon Kim will start the series with a multi-part wall piece entitled Insect Hotel.
Specifically for the stairs of the Kunsthaus foyer, the interdisciplinary Hamburg artist Katharina Duve created a new work made of felt. My Hand Seeks the Way draws on an experimental film by Nina Rippel from 1993, which deals with the abundance of human sensory impressions based on the perceptual world of blind people.
With the this programme, the newly designed foyer will increasingly become 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 Fedinandstor, 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.
