CALL FOR PARTICIPATION!
The format Zwischenspiel – Guests at Kunstmuseum Bonn is going in round five!
In the period from 18 February to 6 April 2025, we would like to invite you and your projects to the Kunstmuseum Bonn. Apply with a project for the short-term realisation of a selected exhibition space at the Kunstmuseum Bonn. Show us what you do, what you think and what you want – for yourself, for the city, for society and for the future! Literature, fashion, music, performance, theatre, social projects, etc. You can realise almost anything in the rooms of the museum. Only the pure presentation of art in the conventional museum format cannot be considered – we are looking for new ideas and new formats! The project can be cross-disciplinary; each time slot is scheduled for 1 week, but does not have to be used in its entirety.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
