Panorama VIII
with Andreas Raser & Festnacht
Thursday, 7.11.2024, 6–10 pm
Music, drinks and free admission every first Thursday of the month
The doors of the Kunsthaus stay open longer on the first Thursday of every month for the Panorama event series. From 6 pm to 10 pm, the foyer of the institution becomes a stage for a changing music programme conceived by Nguyen Phuong-Dan. On 7 November, the Alternative Pop Band Andreas Raser will play, consisting of Camille Clair from Los Angeles and Albert Dietrich from Hamburg who started making music together in 2020 during their art studies at the Städelschule in Frankfurt. Both live in Vienna now and published their debut album “Hollywood” in July 2024. Before and after, Festnacht, co-founder of the Hamburg label Neoprimitive, plays one of his versatile DJ-Sets. The video- and sound installation They Speak to Us In Dreams by Cordula Ditz is free to visit during the entire evening.
The new series of events and exhibitions is intended to turn the Kunsthaus foyer 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.
