Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Führung durch die Ausstellung Kinder, Kinder!

Our public guided tours take you on a minimum 30-minute walk through the current exhibition "Children, Children!". Whether as a creative lunch break, a cultural after-work event, or a relaxing weekend visit – we have a suitable tour for everyone!

To mark the exhibition "Children, Children!", we invite you on a journey through the centuries of depictions of children – from the Renaissance to contemporary works. Discover how images of children once represented claims to power and dominion, and how the understanding of childhood has changed: from the "little adult" to idealized representations and on to genuine snapshots of play, belonging, and family. Be surprised by the stories behind the images and learn how deeply reality and representation are intertwined.

GLOSSY EXHIBITION – Magazines, Photography, Stories.

For the exhibition project “GLOSSY,” magazine journalist David Baum has curated his personal favorites from three decades of great magazine photography and provides a background story or anecdote for each motif (don't forget your smartphone and headphones!).

Starting February 5, 2026, the Fabrik der Künste will show the works of photographers who shaped Germany's magazine culture, including Esther Haase, André Rival, Bryan Adams, Hubertus von Hohenlohe, Frank Zauritz, Jana Mai, Mathias Bothor, Robert Brembeck, Dirk Bruniecki, Laurent Burst, Simon Lohmeyer, Oliver Mark, Bernd Possardt, Peter Rigaud, Götz Schwan, Bodo Vitus, Christoph Voy, Markus Burke, Paul Schirnhofer, Cecil Arp – as well as Jan Riephoff, who is also involved as co-curator of the exhibition. The supporting program features panel discussions with editors-in-chief, art directors, photographers, and magazine makers who talk about their work, including Hatice Akyün (Jetzt.at), Christian Krug (Goodlife, formerly Max, Gala, and Stern), Wolfgang Behnken (art director of Stern and Max), and Anke Dehgenhard (curator and gallery owner).

Guided tour – System Error: Human?

For this year’s members exhibition of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Hamburg, a jury of five experts selected thirty artistic positions from 145 submissions. System Error: Human? compiles works that explore the fragile, the unfinished and the contradictory. Between analogue material and the digital code, between earth, fabric, metal and pixels, they negotiate questions of control, loss and new beginnings. They display breaks as transitions, cracks as openings, irritations as starting points for new forms of coexistence. The exhibition thus becomes a polyphonic plea for the productive power of the error – and for art as a field where orientation is continually being re-created.

In an interactive tour, Sibylle Mayr, one of the members of this year’s jury, will share her views on the selected works.

Jury: Anja Giese, Barbara Maahs, Sibylle Mayr, Maryam Naderi, Avid Saeed
