Haus der Kunst München, Programmhighlights 2023
Haus der Kunst in Munich, one of Europe’s most prominent experimental arts spaces, under the leadership of Andrea Lissoni, continues to expand and diversify its work in 2023, exploring how artists and thinkers respond to a world dominated by rapid environmental, technological and social change.
Andrea Lissoni: “We live in an interconnected world, where everything informs and is informed by everything else. The programme puts the focus on interdisciplinary projects, expanding the role of performing arts and new media, mixing generations and genres. As a whole, the programme stands to re-examine the stories we are told, highlight what is missing from historic narratives and re-purpose the urgency of acting locally while keeping the world in our minds.”

About Haus der Kunst
Haus der Kunst, Munich, is a non-collecting public museum and a global centre for contemporary art. It is dedicated to the exploration of the diverse histories of contemporary art based on a foundation of focused exhibitions, performance and music events, and education. Through its programmes, Haus der Kunst affirms and acknowledges that the trajectories of contemporary art are global, multifocal, polysemic, and unbounded by cartographic, conceptual, and cultural limits. It is a place of dialogue and knowledge transfer and invites visitors to immerse themselves fully, both mentally and physically, in the world of contemporary art.
“In a new era for Haus der Kunst, we want to sharpen the perspective of contemporary art by implicating many viewpoints, deploying multiple tools, and developing a critical context for the examination, articulation, illumination, and transmission of the historical dimension of contemporaneity.“ Andrea Lissoni, Artistic Director Haus der Kunst, Munich.
