New rooms in the art exhibition in Munich

The concept of the permanent exhibition is dynamic and open, so that new rooms are constantly being designed by artists and visitors thus become part of the creative process. The permanent exhibition now comprises 60 rooms. 

In 2024, the rooms of the artists Gerald Jegal and Erik Mayer were added as part of the permanent exhibition in Munich:

Gerald Jegal exhibition at KUNSTLABOR 2 in Munich

Gerald Jegal shows perspective distortions with his installation "macula lutea", which makes geometric objects appear in the "correct proportion". The "macula lutea" actually refers to a small area on the retina where the eye sees most clearly.

Erik Mayer exhibition at KUNSTLABOR 2 in Munich

The installation "Gentrification" by Erik Mayer is dedicated to an important aspect of urban development. Danielle Fagiotto, also from the broke.today collective, assisted Erik Mayer with the realisation.

Interactive in the KUNSTLABOR 2

Visitors are explicitly encouraged to do more than just "consume" the art.  They are interactively integrated into the museum's exhibition. This opens up direct access to the statements of the artworks, many of which are intended to point to the problems and crises of the present. Visitors can even become part of some of the art projects via social media.

The following artists and interactive spaces await you in the permanent exhibition in KUNSTLABOR 2:
