Lili Reynaud-Dewar is a French woman. She is 50 years old. The SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT is a German institution. It is 40 years old. Lili is an artist, the SCHIRN is an art venue. Both are agents and products of the cultural politics of their time. This book comes from Lili Reynaud-Dewar, the author of the biography of the SCHIRN and of her own. Mostly documentary, occasionally fictional, the narrative interweaves their successes and failures, their mistakes and their foresight, the corporeal and the political, sex and administration, the intimate and the public, the disclosed and the hidden, as well as the people and events that have contributed, since the beginning of their existence, to making Lili and the SCHIRN what they are today, in the year 2026.
