Out of the box - 20 Jahre Schaulager

This year, Schaulager surprises with an extensive group exhibition, because there is reason to celebrate: Schaulager turns 20 years young. Works will be presented, the majority of which have entered the collection of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation in recent years. One focus is on time-based media works.

The title Out of the Box illustrates the basic idea that Schaulager has pursued since its opening in 2003: Freeing artworks from storage boxes and making them accessible for research and conservation as well as for school classes and university groups. But this title is also a reference to the complex installations that have been increasingly acquired for the collection in recent years, so-called time-based media works that are presented in their own projection boxes distributed throughout the exhibition space.

The audience moves freely through this landscape of boxes and also discovers a wealth of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs from the collection of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation. These, too, sometimes make tongue-in-cheek reference to the box's guiding theme, the box. Music, the body, space, and architecture are the focal points of the exhibition's content.

Out of the Box invites visitors to engage with the art of our time in an enjoyable and thought-provoking way and to look at issues that move us today from a new perspective. It is worth taking a little extra time, especially with the media works. To make this possible, the exhibition ticket entitles you to enter Schaulager three times.
