Featured Events in Hamburg in August 2025 (August Updated)

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg e.V., the Hamburger Kunsthalle will show in its Hubertus Wald Forum a broad selection of lithographs, screenprints, etchings, woodcuts, and also photographs and C-prints from the 100 years of the programme, as well as some archival documents. The association has been publishing original graphic editions since 1925, making print series by selected artists available to its members. The works are chosen not according to their formal or thematic coherence but because they provide a repre-sentative idea of the respective artist’s oeuvre based on examples of their graphic work. The Griffelkunst-Vereinigung editions typically showcase established national and international artists alongside lesser-known, often younger artists of diverse nationalities and generations as well as collaborations with printmakers. This extraordinary graphics association today counts 4,500 members throughout Germany. The Hamburger Kunsthalle has been involved from the outset and has presented many of the series in various exhibitions over the years.

As part of the exhibition melody / transmitter, the gallery presents the new series humanoid has escaped by Gerwald Rockenschaub. The works in the humanoid has escaped series play with subtle deviations, irritations, memories and reappropriation.

What is the underlying connection between Surrealism and German Romanticism? This exhibition uses hundreds of classic works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, literature, films, photography and other objects. From the basic issues, attitudes, themes and even the painting process, it deeply explores the connection between the two great art styles.

One hundred years ago, the most renowned artistic movement of the twentieth century emerged in Paris: Surrealism. Sparked by a reconsideration of value systems in the aftermath of the First World War, it was a current that would shape the twentieth century like no other. Surrealism displayed a striking »elective affinity« in particular with German Romanticism. The supernatural and irrational, dreams and chance, a feeling of community and encounters with a changing natural world were vital sources of inspiration for German Romanticism and shaped international Surrealism differently a century later. Starting with André Breton’s First Surrealist Manifesto in 1924, fascinating parallels come to light with respect to fundamental questions, attitudes, motifs and even pictorial processes.

In his fifth solo exhibition at the Galerie Vera Munro, Jānis Avotiņš presents new paintings and sculptures that thematically continue from the Latvian artist's last exhibition and invites viewers to immerse themselves in Avotiņš' quiet, profound world.
