Will you go with me? New Perspectives at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld

On Friday, October 16, 2026, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld invites you to the festive opening of its new exhibitions. From 7 PM to 10 PM, the second part of the comprehensive group exhibition Shared Views. Kunsthalle Bielefeld x Collection KiCo will be the focus. Admission to the opening is free.

Collections in Dialogue

Under the title Will you go with me?, works from the collection of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld and the Collection KiCo will meet. The curation opens an art-historical exciting dialogue between classical modernism and the present. Painting, space, and abstraction form the connecting thread of this presentation.

Painting, Space, and Abstraction

The exhibition reveals how different artistic positions complement, question, and enrich each other. Highlights of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld in German Expressionism and in the American avant-garde of the 1960s meet younger works from the Collection KiCo. This creates new perspectives between generations, materials, and ways of thinking.

An Aesthetic Experience of Sharing

The exhibition concept understands collecting as an open, living practice. Works by artists such as Katharina Grosse, Sarah Morris, Maria Lassnig, Gerhard Richter, Agnes Martin, and Georg Baselitz bring together different visual languages. The contemplation of the works becomes an invitation to read familiar art-historical orders anew and to develop one's own perspectives.

Opening Evening with a Special Atmosphere

The Kunsthalle will remain open until 10 PM that evening. After the tour of the new exhibitions, the art experience will culminate in the Café Gemach Manhattan. The combination of contemporary art, inspiring exhibition atmosphere, and personal exchange makes the opening a special cultural evening in Bielefeld.

Conclusion: Rediscovering Art Together

The opening offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the second part of Shared Views directly and to discover the dialogical power of two collections. Anyone who wants to experience painting, installation, spatial effects, and art-historical contexts with open eyes should not miss this evening at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld.
