For Children. Art Stories since 1968

What happens when artists place children at the center of their work? The exhibition brings together international artworks created explicitly for children and young people. Interactive elements such as Koo Jeong A's skateable sculpture or Ei Arakawa-Nash's work – which invite visitors to draw on the floor of the central hall – empower a new experience of contemporary art and challenge our current understanding of what it means to be a child.

The exhibition “Für Kinder” (For Children) brings together international works of art created for children and, in some cases, together with children. Many of the works are interactive and involve the audience. These include, for example, the large collaborative work “Mega Please Draw Freely” by Ei Arakawa-Nash, in which visitors are invited to paint the floor of the huge central hall in accordance with their own ideas. Or they can build the city of the future with Lego bricks.
