SCHIRN DOMINO PROJECT 2024
SCHIRN DOMINO is a project of the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT for teenagers aged 13-17 in close cooperation with youth facilities and intensive classes in and around Frankfurt. The aim is to inspire young people to engage with art through the SCHIRN exhibitions.
The project comprises several phases: After a thematic introduction and in consultation with the representatives of the participating youth centers and schools, a concept for the project implementation is developed together. Next, the participants are introduced to the exhibition at the SCHIRN. Afterwards, they engage with the exhibition's topics in a practical approach at their institutions. They are supported by art educators from the SCHIRN team. The project concludes with a presentation of the resulting artworks. This offers the opportunity to present SCHIRN DOMINO's concept and results to their peers and thus gain multipliers for the project.
Following the successful completion of SCHIRN DOMINO. KUNST UND HIP-HOP for the exhibition THE CULTURE in spring 2024, the next project is now starting to accompany HANS HAACKE. RETROSPECTIVE.
HANS HAACKE: A MEGAPHONE FOR YOUR VOICE
CRITICAL – CONSISTENT – UNCOMPROMISING
Institutional critique, democracy and systemic thinking - these are the major themes that run through Hans Haacke's work.
With his works, Haacke points out that social coexistence and politics affect every individual. His art encourages people to use their own voice for justice, solidarity and a vital democracy. Hans Haacke's art is critical, consistent and uncompromising. On several occasions, his works have been excluded from exhibitions for being too controversial.
With around 70 paintings, objects, photographs and installations, the participants will discover the German artist's influential oeuvre, which extends right up to the present day.
As part of SCHIRN DOMINO, participants are encouraged to engage with topics such as empowerment, power mechanisms, protest culture and institutional critique. They experiment with different materials, techniques and media and create their own works. Here, they express their personal experiences and ideas in connection with social issues and current debates that are important to them.
