Since its opening in 1986, it has become one of today\u2019s most prestigious exhibition locations for modern and contemporary art in Europe. The iconic postmodern SCHIRN building in the Frankfurt city center will be undergoing a energy-efficient renovation during its jubilee year. In the meantime, the SCHIRN will be presenting its program temporarily, until 2028, in the factory building of the former Dondorf printing works in Frankfurt\u2019s Bockenheim district. Save the date: the SCHIRN will be celebrating its milestone birthday on May 8\u201310, 2026, with a big jubilee weekend!<br><br>During 2026 a series of artistic interventions will also be initiated in the outdoor spaces of the SCHIRN in Bockenheim. The theme is the temporary phase of interim use and precisely this state of transition and transience.<br><br>In addition, a superb exhibition program also awaits visitors in 2026: exhibitions featuring striking audiovisual works that explore socio-political resistance within music and youth movements; exhibitions examining the serial revolution through the work of Thomas Bayrle; exhibitions with a multifaceted perspective on our relationship with AI; ecofeminist, utopian\u2013apocalyptic visions of the future of our environment; and the major retrospective of Leonor Fini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">B\u00e1rbara Wagner und Benjamin de Burca.

In their works, the artist duo examine artistic expression, cultural resistance, and the negotiation of identity. The film installations in the exhibition depict contemporary trans-generational scenes with a strong local accent, each of which emerged as youth movements during the 1970s and 1980s and went on to create and shape autonomous cultural and\/or musical structures and systems of reference.<br><br>At the core of their first comprehensive solo exhibition in Germany is a specially developed new production focusing on the hardcore scene in Germany, in particular Straight Edge (\u201csXe\u201d for short), a movement which emerged on the East Coast of the United States as a \u201cclean\u201d counterculture within the post-hardcore punk of the 1980s. <br>Within the SCHIRN, Wagner &amp; de Burca position these scenes alongside other music movements: with the Brega scene from Recife, which arose in northeast Brazil in the 1970s, and Canadians of Afro-Caribbean descent from the first or second generation who, in an act of self-empowerment, appropriated the public space of Toronto\u2019s subway. <br><br>Wagner &amp; de Burca\u2019s audiovisual works highlight pressing sociopolitical issues within the performers\u2019 communities and explore how people find a voice through the cultural expressions they identify with. Their productions are characterized by collaboration, with those portrayed in their films actively participating in the design of script, set, music, choreography, and mise-en-sc\u00e8ne. <br><br><strong>Curator<\/strong> Katharina Dohm (SCHIRN)<br><strong>Curatorial Assistent<\/strong> Cornelia Eisendle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-drei-bilder'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-11 mobile-margin-bottom-5 col-md-7'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 45396,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-300x169.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":169,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":11928},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-1024x576.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":576,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":83611},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-768x432.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":432,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":51858},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-1536x864.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":864,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":164384},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-2048x1152.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1152,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":253917},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-440x248.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":248,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":21264},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-580x326.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":326,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":32935},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-720x405.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":405,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":47530},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-1280x720.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":122617},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3-1920x1080.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1080,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":232663},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Wagner_DeBurca_Filmstill_Future_of_Yesterday_3.jpg\",\"width\":3150,\"height\":1772}},\n\"alt\" : \"A young person presents a cassette titled &quot;The Future of Yesterday&quot;

The major solo exhibition will feature fifty-five works, primarily from the last twenty years, including paintings, graphic art, sculpture, object art, sound installations, as well as a video piece.<br><br>What is the connection between religion and society, the individual and the masses, or industrially manufactured products and the technical equipment used in their production? In addition to the structures of consumption, urbanity, and technology, mobility likewise plays a central role, alongside pop and mass culture as well as (ersatz) religion. The artist also addresses the theme of work and engages with iconic artworks from art history, ranging from Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Masaccio to Claude Monet.<br><br>During the 1960s and 1970s, Bayrle laid the innovative foundations of his characteristic Superformen (Super Forms). The repetition, interconnection, and interweaving of individual elements to form an overall picture remain central to almost all of Bayrle\u2019s works to this day\u2014processes that are closely linked to the artist\u2019s biography. Bayrle initially completed an apprenticeship as a machine weaver before later turning his attention to commercial art and printing. He has continued to develop these printing techniques in his art, both materially and conceptually, tracing the path from analogue technology to the digitality that is so omnipresent today. As a result, Bayrle\u2019s works enter into a particularly resonant dialogue with the SCHIRN\u2019s current exhibition venue, the industrial building of the former Dondorf printing

artworks from the last ten years that explore the cognitive, psychological, political, and ecological dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies are fundamentally changing the ways in which images are created, processed, disseminated, described, and viewed. Their influence on visual culture and contemporary art practice is among the most visible phenomena in this field, which is dominated by often opaque technical processes.<br><br>The wide-ranging themed exhibition will occupy both exhibition halls at the SCHIRN with around 40 works, including video installations, graphic works, sculptures, and photographs. The show will examine a broad spectrum, addressing not only resources and environmental factors but also aspects of perception, machine vision, and facial and emotional recognition. Works by 25 international artists\u2014including Hito Steyerl, Kate Crawford &amp; Vladan Joler, and Agnieszka Kurant\u2014address microwork, the establishment of alternative historical narratives, as well as visions of the future. Further aspects explored include so-called \u201cAI slop\u201d and \u201cslopaganda\u201d (the use of AI-generated images as a new form of political propaganda). Moreover, a series of time capsules\u2014conceived as small cabinets of curiosities\u2014links the present to the past within the exhibition, thereby embedding current changes brought about by new technologies within a broader historical context.<br><br><strong>Curators<\/strong> Antonio Somaini (Jeu de Paume, Paris) in collaboration with Katharina Dohm (SCHIRN)<br><strong>Curatorial Assistent<\/strong> Cornelia Eisendle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 44564,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-300x149.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":149,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":27151},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-1024x510.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":510,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":201671},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-768x383.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":383,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":128230},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-1536x765.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":765,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":376218},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-2048x1020.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1020,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":576362},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-440x219.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":219,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":52281},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-580x289.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":289,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":82346},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-720x359.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":359,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":116402},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-1280x638.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":638,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":285235},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025-1920x957.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":957,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":525529},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Schirn-Presse_Holly-Herndon-Mat-Dryhurst_Xhairymutantx-2024-2025.jpg\",\"width\":3456,\"height\":1722}},\n\"alt\" : \"Colorful, surreal scenes with warrior figures, a unicorn, and imaginative characters in various poses.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:49.826388888889%;

The SCHIRN presents the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition in Germany on the occasion of the Czech Republic\u2019s role as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Hula\u010dov\u00e1, who grew up on a farm, creates art rooted in her deep affinity with plants and animals.<br><br>The artist explores the relationship between humans and nature from an eco-feminist perspective. In her artworks, she addresses the loss of biodiversity, the decline of insects, and the consequences of industrial agriculture. The bee becomes a central metaphor and co-producer of her art, symbolizing collective labor, ecological crisis, and mystical immortality. In partnership with her own colonies of bees, she develops hybrid creatures and faceless science-fiction\u2013like figures, in which concrete and honeycomb, organic and technoid, as well as nature and machine are fused. Hula\u010dov\u00e1\u2019s utopian-apocalyptic visions are permeated by concern for the future of our environment while simultaneously expressing a poetic imagination.<br><br>CURATOR Martina Weinhart

(1907\u20131996) was a rebel, both as an artist and in her private life. Priestesses, sphinxes, and hybrid figures\u2014in a characteristic style informed by the Old Masters, she created dreamlike scenes that subvert classic gender roles. The SCHIRN is devoting the first comprehensive retrospective in Germany to Leonor Fini, offering an in-depth insight into her oeuvre through some 100 works.<br><br>Despite Fini\u2019s proximity to Surrealism, she always maintained her independence and developed a unique pictorial language situated between dream, myth, and theatrical stagelike presentations. Born in Buenos Aires, raised in Trieste, and shaped by the Renaissance, Symbolism, German Romanticism, and Magical Realism, she was an autodidact who created powerful representations of strong women and androgynous figures, often reinterpreting historical models. Emancipation, gender fluidity, eros, occultism, death, and transformation permeate her works, alongside her playful engagement with masks, costumes, and role models. A central theme in Fini\u2019s oeuvre is the exploration of her role as a woman and an artist. From the beginning, Fini presented herself confidently as a libertarian figure and a glamorous icon. The exhibition traces Fini\u2019s long and fascinating artistic career with paintings, drawings, photographs, and objects spanning some seventy years.<br><br>An exhibition by the SCHIRN in cooperation with the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Moderne de Paris\u2014Paris Mus\u00e9es.<br><br><strong>Curator<\/strong> Ingrid Pfeiffer (SCHIRN)<br><strong>Curatorial Assistent<\/strong> Cornelia Eisendle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 44567,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-235x300.jpg\",\"width\":235,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":23846},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-804x1024.jpg\",\"width\":804,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":266249},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-768x978.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":978,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":240841},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-1206x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1206,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":629351},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-1608x2048.jpg\",\"width\":1608,\"height\":2048,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":1102337},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-345x440.jpg\",\"width\":345,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":47031},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-455x580.jpg\",\"width\":455,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":80080},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-565x720.jpg\",\"width\":565,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":124172},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-1005x1280.jpg\",\"width\":1005,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":429715},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-1507x1920.jpg\",\"width\":1507,\"height\":1920,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":980049},\"xxl\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948-3177x4048.jpg\",\"width\":3177,\"height\":4048,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":3420062},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Fini_Le_Bout_Du_Monde_1948.jpg\",\"width\":3708,\"height\":4724}},\n\"alt\" : \"Surreal depiction of a female figure in water, surrounded by mysterious objects and a dramatic landscape.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:127.40021574973%;
