KUNSTHALLE MANNHEIM<br />
The art gallery has always been far more than just a museum.<br />
It is a prestige object and a treasure trove, a meeting place,<br />
and a driver of new innovations.<br />
The currently largest new building of an art museum in Germany<br />
is located in the heart of <strong>Mannheim</strong>. The building, which is<br />
encased in a bronze-coloured metal mesh, was designed by<br />
the architectural agency, gmp – Gerkan, Marg und Partner.<br />
Designed as an open “city in the city”, the art museum allows<br />
its visitors to stroll between the gallery rooms, a restaurant,<br />
a shop and an open storage facility. International artists such<br />
as William Kentridge, Dan Graham, Alicja Kwade and Anselm<br />
Kiefer are presented with new location-specific works. The<br />
Grand Opening of the new “Kunsthalle <strong>Mannheim</strong>” will take<br />
place in June <strong>2018</strong>. The first special exhibition will be dedicated<br />
to the international photographic artist, Jeff Wall. After<br />
that, “Die Konstruktion der Welt. Kunst und Ökonomie” (“The<br />
structure of the world. Art and economy”) will present for the<br />
first time the influence of the economy on art in the 20th and<br />
21st centuries in a global comparison.<br />
