Events

Exhibitions reflect and test reality. Projects become public through exhibited mock-ups before their copies are built, sometimes on a global scale. Art questions everyday life through physical installations. Today, new and old materials are tested through exhibition-making, which in a prototypical sense is less harmful than their immediate use on building sites. Discourses are promoted through visual arrangements in galleries and museums, where art merges with architecture and architecture with science in search of answers to the Anthropocene. At the intersection of disciplines, we are experiencing a unique opportunity to invent responses to the present: ecological, but also political, sociological and aesthetic. Exhibitions help as laboratories. In this mix of tendencies, expertise is blurred.

What are the advantages of working with reused materials, with originals, of allowing exhibits to travel or not? In technical terms: What can we learn from standards and numbers, and how do systematisation, cataloguing and different forms of archiving contribute to sustainability? Or conceptually: Is there a place for ultimate curatorial freedom, and how can we introduce new aesthetics that are sustainable but not dogmatic? A balance between demands and outputs is essential. Can we achieve specific alchemies of sustainability for singular cases? Finally, what are the rewards of a circular economy, and how radical can we get with common taste and familiar forms of representation, production and profit-making? What can we learn by talking to the immediate environment of the Kunstareal, Munich and Germany?

These and many other questions will be discussed in interactive talks on 27 June at the Architekturmuseum der TUM together with representatives from Haus der Kunst, Lenbachhaus, Deutsches Museum, Die Neue Sammlung, Münchener Biennale, treibgut, PlanTreff, Jüdisches Museum Berlin, SUMMACUMFEMMER, Constructlab Berlin and Concular.

We look forward to your presence and contributions!

Since 2005, DOK.fest has been a guest of the Pinakothek der Moderne and presents films that relate to the collections held by the Pinakothek galleries in the Kunstareal Munich. Over the past few years, DOK.fest München has grown to become one of the largest documentary film festivals in Europe. It shows films by prestigious filmmakers, promotes so-called "low production countries" and works on establishing the broadest possible impact for this particular genre of artistic documentary film.

Every year in May the festival presents the newest and most interesting documentary films.

In addition to the ConneXions series of talks, there are discussions, talks and/or readings held by all the four art collections. They are always related thematically to the exhibitions that are showing at the time.

These events are accompanied by the curator or a specialist researcher from the museum and occasionally take place in the exhibition rooms themselves, where the relationship between subject and setting can be experienced directly.

Unter dem Motto "Museum für Alle" wird die Togetthere-Xperience nach erfolgreichen Pilotprojekten in 2017 und 2018 als kontinuierliche und interdisziplinäre Programmreihe mit neuen, experimentellen Kunstvermittlungsformaten über das gesamte  Jahr hinweg fortgeführt.

Ziel ist eine stärkere Teilhabe von Menschen unterschiedlichster Herkunft und Interessen - von Jung bis Alt - und die Förderung des gesellschaftlichen Dialogs über Kunst, Architektur und Design.
