Mission Statement

The Kunsthalle Mainz is an exhibition space for international contemporary art. The Kunsthalle Mainz presents contemporary artistic concepts which depict and convey topics of current relevance to art, politics and society. With a programme of outstanding exhibitions
(Ed Atkins, Bruce Nauman, Roman Signer, Monica Bonvicini), it has set itself the task of helping the public gain a better understanding of art and its themes, and of establishing Mainz as a location for art from all over the world and for discourse on current issues.
The Kunsthalle Mainz is an initiator and stimulator. It is conceived as a place of active reflection, experimentation and dialogue. In tours, workshops and lectures it conveys art’s relevance, its potential for the education of the senses, and its impact on perception and society.
