Exhibition Anselm Kiefer – Sag mir wo die Blumen sind: join a speed tour with the Blikopeners and ReFramers to discover Kiefer’s impressive work, through which he allows new connections to flourish.
Call me Kiefer Phone Booth: talk to a stranger in the other museum. Because true connection starts with an unexpected chat.
Tap tap tap…: seek out the typewriters in the two museums and get typing! Each typewriter has its own theme. Write whatever takes your fancy: a memory, poem, or just a word. Perhaps a spoken word artist will use your text as inspiration!
Art Like Kiefer: brimming with inspiration after visiting the Kiefer exhibition? Head to the Van Gogh Museum Studio to make your own mini-Kiefer painting. Your work will later become part of one large, joint artwork.
Rip, Cut and Paste: poems and song texts were an important source of inspiration for Kiefer’s work. In this workshop, give existing texts a new lease of life and compose your own creative poem.
Before/After Opening Ceremony by Alyson Sillon: step into a layered performance where music, identity and community intertwine. Alyson Sillon invites you into a ritual that blends personal stories with collective experience.
The Price of Bricks – Ahmad Mallah & Rebecca Lillich // Krüger: this powerful collaboration explores the emotional and physical toll of rebuilding after destruction. A performative installation about loss, resilience and renewal.
BBTCOR – Bring Back the Chill Out Room: A tribute to the forgotten 90s chill-out room. BBTCOR merges art, music and research into a safe space to pause, decompress and escape the overstimulation of the dance floor.
