Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.
Frankfurt is culturally and ethnically diverse, with around half of the population. Frankfurt is an alpha world city and a global hub for commerce, culture, education, tourism and traffic. Frankfurt Airport is among the world's busiest. Frankfurt is the major financial centre of the European continent, with the HQs of the European Central Bank, German Federal Bank, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, DZ Bank, KfW, several cloud and fintech startups and other institutes. Frankfurt's DE-CIX is the world's largest internet exchange point. Messe Frankfurt is one of the world's largest trade fairs. Major fairs include the Frankfurt Motor Show, the world's largest motor show, the Music Fair, and the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's largest book fair.
Frankfurt is home to influential educational institutions, including the Goethe University, the UAS, the FUMPA, and graduate schools like the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Its renowned cultural venues include the concert hall Alte Oper, Europe's largest English Theatre and many museums (e.g. the Museumsufer ensemble with Städel and Liebieghaus, Senckenberg Natural Museum, Goethe House), the Schirn art venue at the old town. Frankfurt's skyline is shaped by some of Europe's tallest skyscrapers. The city is also characterised by various green areas and parks, including the central Wallanlagen, the City Forest and two major botanical gardens, the Palmengarten and the University's Botanical Garden. In electronic music, Frankfurt has been a pioneering city since the 1980s, with renowned DJs including Sven Väth, Marc Trauner, Scot Project, Kai Tracid, and the clubs Dorian Gray, U60311, Omen and Cocoon. In sports, the city is known as the home of the top tier football club Eintracht Frankfurt, the basketball club Frankfurt Skyliners, the Frankfurt Marathon and the venue of Ironman Germany. It's the seat of German sport unions for Olympics, football and motor sports.
The city can be accessed from around the world via Frankfurt Airport (Flughafen Frankfurt am Main) located 12 km (7 mi) southwest of the city centre. Despite the name, Frankfurt Hahn Airport (Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn) is situated approximately 120 km (75 mi) from the city in Lautzenhausen (Rhineland-Palatinate). Hahn Airport is a major base for low-cost carrier Ryanair. Frankfurt is a traffic hub for the German motorway (Autobahn) system. The Frankfurter Kreuz is an Autobahn interchange close to the airport, where the Bundesautobahn 3 (A3), Cologne to Würzburg, and the Bundesautobahn 5 (A5), Basel to Hannover, meet.

Judith Hopf and Henrik Olesen: Doors / Portikus
Doors, the current exhibition at the Portikus in Frankfurt / Main, Germany, shows a collaborative project developed by Judith Hopf and Henrik Olesen. Doors offers passageways, entrances and exits, detours and cul-de-sacs, and repeatedly asks the viewer to come to a decision. The different possibilities of action - opening doors, moving (backward) in space - engender new spatial constellations. (PR Portikus) In a similar manner, Judith Hopf and Henrik Olesen also approach the subject of spatial and personal demarcation by means of film with remakes of the Luis Buñuel film Le Fantôme de la liberté (The Phantom of Liberty, 1974) in which numerous scenes play out behind doors and the film The Evil Faerie (1966) by Fluxus artist George Landow. Doors (March 31 - May 13, 2007), Portikus. April 13, 2007.

Felix Gmelin 10/03/14
Looking backwards through history does not necessarily mean nostalgia. It can rather entail finding potential futures that never happened -- contrafactuals -- that were shed out by a certain form of progress. These are the words of German art historian Inke Arns on what she calls 'Retro Utopia'. Retro-utopianism repeats the past -- the avant-garde's utopian ideas, in this case -- extracting and extrapolating their potential for the future and carries out exactly what Gilles Deleuze has called a substantial repetition. According to Deleuze, a substantial repetition realises still-due potential of the future tense by updating an unrealised, underdeveloped intentionality founded in the past.
Felix Gmelin is a Swedish artist born in Germany living and working in Oslo. His methods of questioning the aestheticisation of politics through historical comparison have been seen in variety of art institutions and became available to wider audiences through exhibitions at PORTIKUS, Frankfurt a.M., ZKM, Karlsruhe, maccarone inc., New York, the 50 and 52 Venice Biennales and the berlin biennale 4. Since January this year he is Professor of contemporary art at KHiO, Kunstakademiet, Oslo.

Paola Pivi: Art with a view
Paola Pivi’s artistic practice is diverse and enigmatic. Her oeuvre appears to have been formed through multiple creative minds. 'Art with a view' at The Bass presents new work by the artist, as well as Pivi’s anthropomorphic, feather-covered polar bears; canvases of cascading pearls; video showing fish in flight on a passenger jet; and an 80-piece mattress installation. Each piece poses questions and is defined by its openness to interpretation, through the appropriation of cultural symbols.
Paola Pivi (b. 1971, Milan, Italy) has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions including I did it again, SCAD, Savannah (2018), I am tired of eating fish, curated, La Rinascente, Italy (2017), Ma’am, Dallas Contemporary, Texas (2016), Tulkus 1880 to 2018, FRAC Bourgogne, France (2014), You started it … I finish it, National Gallery of Victoria, Australia (2014), Tulkus 1880 to 2018, Witte de With, Netherlands (2013), Share, But It’s Not Fair, Rockbund Art Museum, China (2012), How I roll, Public Art Fund, New York (2012), It’s a cocktail party, Portikus, Frankfurt, Germany (2008), and It just keeps getting better, Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland (2007). Pivi has exhibited internationally at institutions including Stad Kortrijk, Belgium, Anchorage Museum, Alaska, Fondazione Prada, Italy, Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Germany, Whitechapel Gallery, United Kingdom, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Italy, Malmö Konsthall, Sweden, MOMA PS1, New York, and the XLVIII Biennale di Venezia, Italy.
Museum Giersch in Frankfurt - Heinrich von Liebieg Ausstellung

Public Art Fund Talks: Isa Genzken, Randy Kennedy, Daniel Buchholz, and Nicholas Baume
For the Public Art Fund Talk at The New School ( Genzken will be in conversation with Randy Kennedy, art writer at The New York Times, whose extensive interview with the artist was published on the occasion of her 2013 Museum of Modern Art retrospective, her longtime dealer and friend Daniel Buchholz of Galerie Buchholz, and Nicholas Baume, Director and Chief Curator of Public Art Fund, who organized the New York City debut of Two Orchids.
Public Art Fund Talks at The New School are organized by Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics ( at The New School.
Isa Genzken is considered of the most influential artists of the past four decades, with her work exploring mediums ranging from painting, collage, photograph, drawing, film, and sculpture to an artist’s book. While recognized for the variance and multiplicity within her work, it is sculpture that has always remained at the heart of her practice. Combining seemingly disparate materials within her sculptures, Genzken investigates intersecting relationships, such as those found between the commercial and the urban or the architectural and the ideological, while also questioning contemporary socio-political structures. It remains no surprise, then, that recurrent in the artist’s practice has been an engagement with public space, reflecting her longstanding interest in scale, material, architecture and urbanism. Her most well known outdoor sculptures include Rose II, which was installed on the façade of the New Museum in 2007 and is currently on view in the Museum of Modern Art sculpture garden, and Two Orchids, a sculpture that will rise to 34 feet at the southeast entrance to Central Park beginning March 1, and which was originally shown at the 56th Venice Biennial.
Isa Genzken (b. 1948, Bad Oldesloe, Germany) lives and works in Berlin. Over the course of forty years, she has shown extensively in international solo exhibitions including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, in 2015; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London in 2015; Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria in 2014 (traveled to Museum für Moderne Kunst (MMK 1), Frankfurt in 2015); The Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2013 (traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Dallas Museum of Art, both in 2014); Whitechapel Gallery, London in 2009 (traveled to Museum Ludwig, Cologne); Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany in 2002 (traveled to Kunsthalle Zürich in 2003); The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago in 1992 (traveled to Portikus, Frankfurt; Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels; Städtisches Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich, both in 1993); and Rheinisches Landesmuseum, Bonn, Germany in 1988 (traveled to Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, both in 1989). In November 2015, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, will present the largest retrospective of her work in the Netherlands. In 2007, the artist represented Germany at the 52nd Venice Biennale. Her work has been prominently featured in international biennials and group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale (2015, 2003, 1993, and 1982); Skulptur Projekte Münster (2007, 1997, and 1987); and Documenta (2002, 1992, and 1982). Her work is included in public and private collections across the globe including the Dallas Museum of Art; Gemeentemuseum, The Hague; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. Genzken is represented by Galerie Buchholz and David Zwirner.

RUANG SUARA: Soundscapes // Trailer
RUANG SUARA – Zeitgenössische Musik aus Indonesien
Acht Uraufführungen indonesischer Komponisten
Komponisten und Interpreten aus Indonesien treffen auf das Ensemble Modern. Das mehrstufige Projekt »Ruang Suara« (»Klangräume«) brachte erstmals im Oktober 2014 in einem mehrtägigen Workshop in Jakarta 16 Komponisten und Interpreten aus Indonesien mit dem Ensemble Modern und den Komponisten Johannes Schöllhorn und Manfred Stahnke zusammen. Gemeinsam experimentierten die Musiker mit westlichen und indonesischen Instrumenten und tauschten sich über unterschiedliche Stimmungssysteme, Notationen und Klangvorstellungen aus. Acht ausgewählte indonesische Komponisten waren im Januar 2015 zu einem Workshop in Frankfurt zu Gast und erhielten dann den Auftrag, Werke eigens für das Ensemble Modern zu entwickeln, die nun als Auftakt des »Indonesia LAB« uraufgeführt werden. Im Dezember 2015 werden die Kompositionen im Rahmen der »Deutschen Saison« in Indonesien (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bandung) präsentiert.
RUANG SUARA ist ein gemeinsames Projekt des Ensemble Modern, der KfW Stiftung und des Goethe-Instituts Indonesien mit Unterstützung der Kulturstiftung des Bundes. RUANG SUARA ist Teil des INDONESIA LAB, ein Kooperationsprojekt des Frankfurt LAB mit Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Ensemble Modern, Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste - Städelschule und Portikus, Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main, Hessische Theaterakademie und Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Goethe-Institut Indonesien. Gefördert durch die Kulturstiftung des Bundes und die KfW Stiftung.

RUANG SUARA – Contemporary Music from Indonesia
Composers and musicians from Indonesia meet Ensemble Modern. The project “Ruang Suara” (“Soundscapes”) brings composers and performers from Indonesia together with Frankfurt’s Ensemble Modern in several steps. October 2014 saw a workshop of several days in Jakarta, during which composers and artists from Indonesia worked with Ensemble Modern and composers Johannes Schöllhorn and Manfred Stahnke. Together they experimented with Western and Indonesian instruments, exchanging views about different notations, tuning systems and musical concepts. Eight select Indonesian composers were subsequently invited to a workshop in Frankfurt in January 2015 and commissioned to produce pieces specifically for Ensemble Modern, which will now premiere at the Frankfurt LAB, launching the “Indonesia LAB”. The compositions will then be presented in Indonesia (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bandung) as part of the “German Season” in December 2015.

Att Poomtangon - stood my ground, stand my ground
Mit lächelnder Zurückhaltung und gleichzeitig großer Intensität greift der thailändische Konzeptkünstler Att Poomtangon (*1973) mit seinen installativen Projekten Themen auf, die von existenziellem Interesse für ihn selbst und vielleicht auch für die Menschheit sind. Die Hinterfragung technologischer Errungenschaften beispielsweise, die das Ökosystem und das Zusammenleben tiefgreifend beeinflussen, begleitet Att Poomtangons künstlerische Arbeit bereits über mehrere Jahre hinweg. In seinen Installationen gelingt ihm auf eher poetische Weise unter Zuhilfenahme einer kulturellen Übersetzung dem nachzuspüren, was verloren geht in einer Gesellschaft automatisierter Prozesse. Seine klassische Ausbildung in allen Bereichen der Bildenden Kunst erlaubt es ihm dabei, sich spielerisch assoziativ diesen Themenkomplexen zu nähern.
Begrüßt wird der Besucher der Ausstellung von einem unmissverständlich sein Revier markierenden, thailändischen Straßenhund - dieser stand Modell für Stray Dog (2008). Das Sinnbild eines loyalen und hoch intelligenten Hundes, der die Gemeinschaft liebt, sich gleichzeitig aber auch seine Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit bewahrt. Att Poomtangon, als Thailänder nicht im Besitz eines westlichen Reisepasses, erfährt den Anachronismus im Zeitalter der Globalisierung, der ihm bei der Ausübung seines Berufes immer wieder erhebliche Schwierigkeiten bereitet, wenn er reisen möchte. Der Wunsch nach Freiheit lässt das bloße Anheben des Beines zum Abstecken von Hoheitsgebieten verlockend erscheinen.
Wie weit kann das Selbst verzehrt werden, ohne dass man von seinen eigenen Säften krank wird? Im Film When you eat your self .... When? (2006, 6:48 min) nimmt Att Poomtangon im schwarzen Smoking an festlich gedeckten Tisch Platz und beginnt alleine zu speisen. Ihm gegenüber sitzt eine helle Figur in moderner, typisch thailändischen Alltagskleidung: Gummisandalen, T-Shirt und Jeans, das Ebenbild des Künstlers, abgeformt in gelber Bohnenpaste. Der bereits abgetragene Kopf seines Alter Ego liegt vor ihm auf dem Teller und wird vornehm mit Messer und Gabel verspeist. Häppchenweise werden auch die Extremitäten sorgsam zerschnitten, aufgespießt und zum Mund geführt, bevor sich der Herr im Smoking schließlich übergibt - was folgt ist eine recht widersprüchliche Darstellung der Liebe zu sich selbst und der gleichzeitigen Überwindung seiner selbst.
Noch in einer weiteren Arbeit kreist das Thema um Nahrungsaufnahme: Att Poomtangon sichert seinen Lebensunterhalt im Westen durch das Kochen. Nahe liegt die Idee eines neuen innovativen Prozesses der Nahrungszubereitung und -aufnahme: Nouvelle Cuisine Fast Food (2008). Die bizarren Farben der dargebotenen Objekte weisen auf ihre Inhaltsstoffe hin: Lebensmittel und Gewürze, die zur Zubereitung eines bestimmten asiatischen Gerichtes benötigt werden. Sie sind ähnlich eines verführerischen Hamburgers geschichtet und in diesem Zustand eingefroren. Die äußere Form der Objekte spiegelt den Hauptinhaltsstoff des Gerichtes, nach dem es benannt ist -- eine Aubergine, eine Süßkartoffel: Präsentiert wird eine gesunde, kalorienangepasste und abwechslungsreichere Version des all zu beliebten Fast Foods, eventuell eine zukünftige Ernährungsform der gesamten Menschheit?
Att Poomtangon studierte bis 1999 an der Universität in Chiangmai (Thailand) bevor er im Jahr 2006 zur Städelschule in Frankfurt kam und bei Tobias Rehberger sein Studium als Meisterschüler weiterführte. 2008 hatte er seine erste institutionelle Ausstellung in Deutschland im Nassauischen Kunstverein in Wiesbaden. Es folgten Ausstellungen auf der Venedig Biennale 2009 und eine Einzelausstellung im Portikus in Frankfurt a.M.. Auf dem ART FORUM BERLIN präsentierte die Galerie KUNSTAGENTEN seine Arbeit The Devil Finds Work for Idle Hands To Do.
