Once in a Blue Moon – this English proverb lends us the title for a rare event: we are celebrating 60 years of Kunsthaus Hamburg. A time for self-reflection – time to set new impulses with a view to the past. Originally founded on the initiative of regional artists, it will remain the central task of the Kunsthaus to offer the latter an inviting, open and globally networking platform. This programmatic focus will be supplemented in a multi-layered interweaving with national and international positions. The anniversary programme picks up on our self-conception as a participatory exhibition space, artistic production site and cultural-political discussion platform. So, from 7 October, we are transforming the exhibition hall into a multi-auditory and interactive social space from Tuesdays to Sundays between 4 and 10 pm.

« Goodbye Blue Sky », Âme Nue’s first curated group exhibition, is a contemplative series of daydreams and escapes, a carefully composed narrative of shifting romances. It is the writing of ‘realities’ expressed for consideration, a succession of thoughts and images by artists who inspired us.



While constantly watching the world unfolding its realism before our eyes, we maintain distant to questions of existence or integrity. Neither necessarily logical nor distant from the tangible world, this exhibition pictures the quietude of an eluded truth, merely worlds and societies, gone with the streams of phantasmagorias, vices and follies. Reflecting today’s mind-sets and emotions, « Goodbye Blue Sky » wishes to provoke the viewer’s release into a pensive state, pitched into one’s own blues and lost paradises.

Buchrelease / Vernissage: Jakob Sinn »Saudade«

Sehnsucht, Melancholie, Einsamkeit und ein bisschen Weltschmerz – eine eindeutige Übersetzung des portugiesischen Gefühls »Saudade« scheint nicht möglich, was den Hamburger Musiker und Fotografen Jakob Sinn im Jahr 2016 dazu inspirierte, in Lissabon auf die Suche nach seiner ganz persönlichen Interpretation des Wortes zu gehen.
Während es bereits zahlreiche musikalische Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Begriff gegeben hat, wählte Jakob Sinn für seine persönliche Annäherung die Fotografie.

Im Textem Verlag erscheint jetzt ein kleines, intimes Buch, welches den Leser mit auf eine Reise nimmt, an dessen Ende natürlich keine klassische Übersetzung steht, aber sehr wohl ein eindeutiges Gefühl vermittelt wird.

Wie es aussieht und wie es sich anfühlt, kann jeder für sich am 2. November ab 19 Uhr bei der Buchpräsentation in der »Galeria Alma Nua« überprüfen.
