Class relations - the second season of art education from 1946 to 2026

Kunsthaus NRW Kornelimünster, Germany
10.05.2026 - 27.09.2026

 

Following the first part , "Class Relations: Teachers, Students, Artists," the Kunsthaus NRW continues its exhibition project in 2026 with new artworks and a new focus. " Class Relations - The Second Season" explores the world of art academies through approximately 130 works from its own collection as well as selected loans from the Academy Gallery of the Düsseldorf Art Academy. The new exhibition takes the classical art forms as its guiding thread: painting, sculpture, photography, art on paper, printmaking, film, video, performance, and all the hybrid forms of contemporary art production. Alongside questions of technical training, it addresses aspects that are more difficult to grasp: How are things like attitude, conceptual thinking, or even-think of Sigmar Polke-humor conveyed?
