Exhibition practice today - exhibition practice of the future?

Each exhibition engages its visitors on different levels. While some exhibitions focus on the aesthetics and language of the works themselves, others challenge visitors to engage with the thoughts and messages of the artists, raise controversial issues or encourage visitors to consider the questions and thoughts of our time.

"Exhibition Practice Today - Exhibition Practice of the Future?", questions what future exhibition practice might look like, taking into account current cultural policy and academic issues. Join us at the colloquium on Fri, 24 Jun 2022, listen to contributions from international experts and discuss possible new concepts of exhibition practice in the following workshop on Sat, 25 Jun 2022. We look forward to seeing you!
