黑料不打烊

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the K眉nstlerhaus, the current studio community invites members from the eventful history of the house to present current works. As a continuation of the popular series with artists from the city and the region, GO:40 presents a lively and comprehensive overview of current productions that originated or were further developed in the house at some point. Geographically, the twenty invited artists span from Amsterdam to Dortmund and North Rhine-Westphalia, Kiel, Leipzig, Berlin, Biel in Switzerland and Tokyo, and their subjects and media are just as wide-ranging. The spectrum of works presented ranges from drawings and paintings to photography, film and installations.

The anniversary offers the opportunity to familiarise the new management, which takes office on 1.4.2023, with the history of the house: The history of the K眉nstlerhaus is one of personalities who, in addition to their own work, have always been active for the programme of the house as curators. When they now come into view with their own works, it becomes clear that the construction of the artist-curated exhibition and residency house is a success story of artists who, contrary to a widespread prejudice, have cooperated and committed themselves to the common good. The City of Dortmund has supported this through continuous funding. The anniversary is a grateful look back and equally a look forward to further years full of programme, surprises and discoveries.
