Between Slant and Attic: two exhibitions, an intense dialogue of works
The exhibitions Liesl Raff Slant and Annette Senneby Attic, presented by the Kunstverein Braunschweig in summer 2026, are at the center. Both positions refer to different artistic strategies that, in their spatial presence, formal precision, and conceptual openness, are particularly fruitful for art appreciation in the context of the tour. The exhibition situation at the Kunstverein encourages that aesthetic experience in which material, light, and space sharpen each other.

Why this director's tour is special
Director Cathrin Mayer guides not only through spaces but through ways of thinking in contemporary art. The Kunstverein Braunschweig sees itself as a vibrant place of exchange and dialogue; at the same time, it offers public mediation formats that connect art history, the present, and cultural education. Those who want to not only see contemporary art but understand it in a curatorial context will find here a precise art experience.

A place with history and present
The Villa Salve Hospes at Lessingplatz 12 in Braunschweig has shaped the profile of the Kunstverein for decades. The place combines historical architecture with current exhibition work, giving the tour a special spatial effect. For visitors, this creates a dense exhibition atmosphere where art mediation and architectural context go hand in hand.
