SELMA SELMAN: FLOWERS OF LIFE


The Schirn is dedicating a major solo exhibition to Selma Selman, presenting specially developed new works. The artist advanced confidently and vigorously into the international art world just a few years ago, describing herself as “the world’s most dangerous artist.” Selman’s art describes impressively, and through a variety of media, autobiographical experiences of discrimination, violence, patriarchy, and sexism.

CASABLANCA ART SCHOOL: A POSTCOLONIAL AVANT-GARDE 1962–1987


Just a few years after Morocco gained inde­pen­dence in 1956, a vibrant center of cultural renewal devel­oped in Casablanca. With the exhi­bi­tion the Schirn is presenting the unique and influ­en­tial work of of this inno­v­a­tive school in a first major exhi­bi­tion, one that is long overdue.

An exhi­bi­tion orga­nized by Schirn Kunsthalle Frank­furt, Tate St Ives, and Sharjah Art Foun­da­tion

CAROL RAMA


The Schirn is showing the first comprehensive survey exhibition in Germany of Carol Rama with works from all phases of her remarkable oeuvre. Sexuality, passion, disease, death— the Turin-based Italian artist dedicated her art to the great human themes and elemental experiences. She is one of the outstanding artists of the modern age who achieved fame late in life. She remained independent of schools and artistic groupings and created an unconventional and yet highly personal body of work over the course of about sixty years.

HANS HAACKE


Hans Haacke has shaped “polit­ical art” to a greater extent than any other artist of his gener­a­tion. Keen crit­i­cism of insti­tu­tions, polit­ical aware­ness, and an uncom­pro­mising defense of demo­c­ratic prin­ci­ples to the point of activism all char­ac­terize his approach. In a wide-ranging retro­spec­tive, the Schirn will be exam­ining Haacke’s influ­en­tial oeuvre from 1959 to the present day. With some 70 paint­ings, objects, photographs, and instal­la­tions, the exhi­bi­tion demon­strates how Haacke became one of the most impor­tant polit­ical artists on the inter­na­tional art stage.

An exhibition organized by Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt in cooperation with Belvedere, Vienna.
