Curator Malte Lin-Kröger will give an advance tour of the exhibition Pattern Recognition. Reunion with the Städtische Sammlung Erlangen.

Attendance is free of charge for friends of the Kunstpalais and all those who wish to become friends.

International contemporary art has been collected in Erlangen for over 50 years. Pattern Recognition. Wiedersehen mit der Städtischen Sammlung Erlangen examines the rich holdings of the collection against the background of numerous upheavals in art and society from the founding years of the collection to the present day. By juxtaposing eleven long-standing works from the collection with eleven new acquisitions or loans by younger artists, the exhibition sets out to find patterns, similarities, and differences. The result is eleven intense dialogues that look back on more than five decades of art history and from which forward-looking narratives develop at the same time.

In the exhibition rooms you can expect live speakers who will answer your questions about art. Admission is free and the exhibition is open until 10 pm. Simon Lehner, Alona Rodeh & Sonja Yakovleva will be present. Party with music by Dubois and drinks at the Palais Bar.

You think knives and forks belong on the table? And what about nuts and bolts? The artist Sofia Hultén forms exciting works of art from everyday objects and builds puzzles with them. Do you notice anything? She herself was inspired by Bongard problems. These are tricky puzzles where you have to find differences or similarities. How fitting that her paintings are named the same as our exhibition: Pattern Recognition III & IV. In our studio, we will create our own works of art in which seemingly simple everyday objects make their grand entrance!

Past, present, future - where have we landed here? Two fantastic sculptures await us on the upper floor of the Kunstpalais. Is this how aliens build? Why this pink?
