Das Zwölf-Räume-Haus in neuem Licht

To mark the reopening of the central exhibition pavilion,the Zwölf-Räume-Haus, the building will be open to the public through the end of September as a walk-through sculpture by Erwin Heerich, presented in its purest form and without the permanent collection on display. During this time—primarily on weekends—visitors will also encounter numerous artistic interventions. The space itself, its clear layout, and a very special light provide the setting for site-specific contributions featuring dance, performance, and music. The program focuses on the fleeting yet intense experience of the moment and the spatial structures.

While some surprises remain, below is the gradually expanding list of projects and dates for an unusual summer atthe Zwölf-Räume-Haus:
