holy terrain: "Jungtier" (2021) by Hemansingh Lutchmun
From September 2021 through summer 2022, the Goethe-Institut's Return Gallery will host The German School, an exhibition programme of artworks from the film class of the internationally known Städelschule art school in Frankfurt am Main.
Initiated by Irish artist and Städelschule Professor, Gerard Byrne, and the Goethe-Institut the programme presents diverse new work from 24 students who originate from across five continents.
With a pedagogical approach that is very non-prescriptive, diverse, and highly oriented towards the development of each individual’s practice, the Städelschule students work might collectively evidence new forms of Cosmopolitanism, reflective of our contemporary global conditions of connection and uncertainty.
Over the course of a programme of six exhibitions at The Return gallery, The German School will consider, and reconsider these Cosmoplitanisms amidst the rich backdrop of a Georgian Dublin townhouse.
