Kunst Kiosk #2

Kunst Kiosk will house the showcasing of works by Maria Lassnig from 26 May 2025 and will be on view till 25 August 2025 from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm daily (except on Sundays and public holidays).

Kunst Kiosk, a long-term project by the Goethe-Institut Kolkata, aims to give art lovers access to relevant approaches and trends in contemporary art from Germany and India since the 1960s. In a series of regularly changing presentations, exemplary artistic works displayed in a concentrated space offer viewers the opportunity to explore the varied thematic and formal aspects of the broad spectrum of artistic creation that has taken place in both countries since the 1960s. The focus is on works featuring moving images that can be viewed on screens in their original form.

These presentations will be shown in a specially developed, site-specific artistic installation titled Grids Grounded: An Encounter of Circles, created by the renowned artist and art mediator Sanchayan Ghosh. Its sphere-like structure in the foyer of the Goethe-Institut Kolkata offers space for two to three viewers at the same time. Up to ten works of art will be presented alternately on three screens; however, visitors can also select and view them individually, like a temporary mini-archive.
