Kunsthalle enables longer access to the GDR show / above-average visit to visitors
Due to the great interest, the exhibition "burned down" in the Kunsthalle Darmstadt is extended by a week. Until Sunday, July 6, 2025, visitors have the opportunity to experience the impressive show before the summer vacation begins. The exhibition is dedicated to the work of artists from the GDR, who went independent beyond socialist realism.
Director Dr. León Krempel is pleased with the response: "The visit is well above the average of past exhibitions." The extended period in particular offers working people and those interested in art with a close calendar the chance of a late visit.
Multi -layered show with painting, poetry, music and sculpture
20 paintings are shown, supplemented by 40 lyrical contributions and ten listening stations with music that can be experienced individually through headphones. The combination of visual art, literature and sound creates an atmospheric overall experience that makes the complexity of artistic life tangible in the GDR.
The title "Burnt" comes from a poem by the writer Kurt Dramwert and refers to his formative youth in the GDR. The exhibition was realized in cooperation with the Center for New Literature Darmstadt and the International Music Institute Darmstadt (IMD).
Opening times and admission
The exhibition is open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Thursdays (except on July 3.) even until 9 p.m.
Entry is 10 euros, reduced 7 euros.
Outlook: New music follows GDR art
After the end of "Burnt", the next big cooperation joins seamlessly: From 19 July to August 2, the Kunsthalle together with the IMD presents the exhibition "Situations. Listening to Spaces" as part of the international holiday courses for new music . These worldwide renowned courses have shaped the musical profile of Darmstadt since 1946 - and this year again beat bridges between contemporary art and experimental music.
