Frankfurter Kunstverein

The Frankfurter Kunstverein is an exhibition space for contemporary art and culture in Frankfurt am Main. Exhibiting young and up and coming artists, it has become a site for encounter and engagement with the themes of our time. It is the key platform for contemporary art exhibitions, site-specific projects, performances, artist talks, and expert panels. Artists, creatives, and an engaged audience encounter a venue for the exchange of ideas about contemporary art, culture, society, and social issues. Since the end of 2014, when Franziska Nori took on the position of director, the Frankfurter Kunstverein’s program has focused on the diverse intersections between art, science, and contemporary society. At the Frankfurter Kunstverein, art is understood as an intermediary between different fields: expert knowledge and social issues, philosophical discourses and lived realities, aesthetic experiences and the transfer of knowledge. It therefore works with artists whose practices employ knowledge spanning a variety of fields from technical and natural sciences to the humanities. Their artistic reflection of contemporary themes is intended to sharpen our view of society today and inform our vision of how it could look in the future.
