To the People of the City of the Euro
2000 Frankfurter Kunstverein EXHIBITION
May 28 to Jul 11, 2000
The aim of the presentation is to offer a suitable level of mediation for the changing presentation needs of current art production. The location of the Frankfurter Kunstverein creates the appropriate spaces to place the aesthetic and social productions of art in relation to and in competition with other social fields.
Through specific interventions in the interior architecture of the Steinernes Haus, the Frankfurter Kunstverein is transparent in its urban environment. The spacial opening is oriented towards the content-related aim of establishing the Frankfurter Kunstverein as a public and social place as well. This project ties in with the historical roots of the Kunstverein as a civic institution and is at the same time oriented towards the standards of today's art production.
The exhibitions during the opening days To the People of the City of the Euro mark the beginning of an exhibition programme of the Frankfurter Kunstverein that is designed for long-term collaborations with the artists.
