Akademie Schloss Solitude

Anniversary year at the Akademie Schloss Solitude

20TH ANNIVERSARY

20 years of Akademie Schloss Solitude! A nice occasion to celebrate this anniversary year with a special event series. We are very happy to realize numerous exhibitions, readings, performances, and concerts, with cooperation partners in Stuttgart, Berlin and Warsaw and with many former and current Solitude fellows.

The event series starts off with the exhibition »Tytul Roboczy / Working Title«, which will be opened at the Akademie Schloss Solitude on March 11, 2010 in cooperation with the Center for Contemporary Art, Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw. On April 29, two exhibitions will be opened, »Another Country / Ein anderes Land / Eine andere Welt« at the gallery of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (IFA) in Stuttgart, as well as »Design of the (In-)Human« at the Württembergischer Kunstverein (WKV) in Stuttgart, curated by the WKV’s directors Hans Christ and Iris Dressler.

More about further activities during the anniversary year, such as the big Summer Festival on July 3, 2010, and Marcel Wehn’s Solitude documentary »Die Zeit ohne Eigenschaften« (A time without characteristics), you may find on our website from February 4.
