ArtWorkRoom (Yes, we’re open!)
ArtWorkRoom ( Yes, we’re open!)
“Yes, we're open!" – this expression truly captures the self-image of the intercultural workshop ArtWorkRoom. The initiative is aimed at all people and thus at the broadest variety of languages possible - not only spoken languages - but all forms of expression imaginable.
A whole spectrum of native languages might be heard in one group, however, even if you share the same mother tongue, an older woman, for example, will express herself differently and use a different vocabulary than a younger person.
2021 was a special year for the ArtWorkRoom. The five-year anniversary of this intercultural program was celebrated at the Kunstareal summer party. Over many days, the ArtWorkRoom facilitated informal meetings between strangers, as well as great fun in creative cooperation – finally in person at the Pinakothek der Moderne! Starting September 2021 the ArtWorkRoom could meet regularly once a month in compliance with the existing hygienic guidelines. Special exhibitions like Au Rende-Vous des Amis and the new X-D-E-P-O-T from the Neue Sammlung provided us with exciting starting points for conversations, common discoveries and design experiments.
Denkraum Deutschland
DENKRAUM DEUTSCHLAND takes place annually in October at the Pinakothek der Moderne. In 2021, the art education format was honored by the European Museum Academy (EMA) for its experimental examination of the social role of the museum.
THINKING SPACE GERMANY 2023
HI OLDIE. Museums and Generations
For the 5th time, the Pinakothek der Moderne is hosting DENKRAUM DEUTSCHLAND - an interdisciplinary, deliberately low-threshold project of education and outreach.
For one week, cultural professionals and experts from various fields will discuss current socio-political topics with the museum audience.
The focus of DENKRAUM DEUTSCHLAND 2023 is on age and intergenerational dialogue - a highly topical subject and a fact: because people in Germany are getting older and fewer. How do artists deal with this development? In what way is life experience reflected in design? Where do spaces for older people open up in architecture? And what role do different age groups play in museums?
A project by Miro Craemer in cooperation with the education and outreach department of the Pinakothek der Moderne.
