Every spring, the art and museum association KMV is responsible for organising an exhibition in the Kunsthalle Barmen, which is handing over the curatorship to the ‘Freunde der Tat’ this year.

Their aim is to create exhibition opportunities for Wuppertal artists by reintroducing a biennial of Bergisch art. This is not least against the background of the long tradition of the Barmer Kunstverein and the KMV of regularly giving visibility to artists based in Wuppertal.

The regional exhibition entitled ‘hier:’ will be shown in the five rooms of the Kunsthalle Barmen from 16 March to 13 April 2025. The KHB team is particularly pleased that the selection of the Friends of the Deed also includes some graduates of our art degree programme for the planned exhibition.

In terms of content and programme, the university is not involved in the conception of this exhibition. However, the KHB team is looking forward to welcoming our cooperation partners back to the Kunsthalle and the LAB from 23 May as part of our next exhibition.
