Panorama XI
with Museum Of No Art and emodji
Thursday, 6.3.2025, 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. In March, Museum Of No Art and emodji will be performing. The Museum Of No Art has no location, but is rather an imaginary space in which the artist and musician Mona Steinwidder pursues fabulous forms and fantastic stories with clarinet, synthesiser and sound effects – as in A Serpent Called Emit, her latest release. Before and after the concert, emodji, one half of the DJ duo Laiens Club, will play one of their eclectic DJ sets, which range from chansons to lo-fi pop to psychedelic folk. The current Annual Exhibition of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Hamburg will also be open until 10 pm.
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.
