Rethinking the Collection: A Tour through Scene Change 4
On September 27, 2026, the Kunstmuseum Karlsruhe invites you to a focused tour of "Update! Rethinking the Collection – Scene Change 4." In about 60 minutes, Dr. Hannah Reisinger will provide an expert access to a collection presentation that establishes new relationships between historical artworks and contemporary art.
A Lively Dialogue about Eras and Media
Approximately 200 works by 70 artists meet across 1,500 square meters in media- and era-spanning constellations. Painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, and other artistic media engage in a tension-filled dialogue. The curation understands the collection not as a rigid archive but as an open field of knowledge, which changes with each new presentation.
Thematic Rooms between Identity and Otherness
The exhibition leads through thematic rooms addressing identity, rituals, nature, gender equality, home, and the experiences of otherness. These focal points connect art historical perspectives with societal questions of the present. The examination of the works gains special depth: individual pieces appear not isolated but as part of a multifaceted cultural context.
Aesthetic Experience and Cultural Education
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on the interplay between familiar historical positions and current artistic voices. Hanging displays, a showcase, a research archive, and changing presentations of sensitive paper works make visible how museum collections are created, preserved, and reinterpreted. The tour connects art historical expertise with vivid mediation and invites participants to sharpen their perception.
Why the Tour is Worth It
The tour offers an intense art experience for those interested in modern and contemporary art, collection history, and curatorial processes. It shows how different eras, visual languages, and materials communicate through a new arrangement. This results in an aesthetic experience that informs, provokes, and inspires.
