Kunsthalle Mainz

Profile

(Profile only availible in german - translated by machine)

Kunsthalle Mainz has been designed for changing exhibitions featuring contemporary art. Its self-appointed brief is to present and communicate art. It does not have a collection of its own.

One of the objectives of the newly founded institution that is Kunsthalle Mainz is to establish itself, in the city and the state of Rhineland Palatinate and beyond the borders of the region itself.

Kunsthalle Mainz aims to provide an insight into the various positions and methods of working in the art scene today using themed exhibitions, dialogue situations, monographic presentation and location/room-related interventions.

With this in mind, Kunsthalle plans on including, to an equal extent, both international and regional artwork in its exhibition activities - taking as its motto "broadening your horizons without forgetting your own cultural roots".

The focus is on convincing people of the relevance of art, on its sensual potential and on its effects on perception and society. In all the attitudes adopted by contemporary artists and with the accompanying interest in different methods and conditions of production, today, fine arts reflect the entire range of what makes man what he is on a social, emotional and mental level.

There will be a communication program for each exhibition in the form of conducted tours or workshops, directed both at adults and at children and young people. Additionally, in the framework of the exhibitions there will be complementary events such as discussions, interviews with the artists and lecture series.
