The Gelsenkirchen Art Museum presents for the first time a new exhibition by Tobias Zielony, whose evocative night photographs of youth subcultures, post-industrial landscapes and urban realities make him an important chronicler of the present. In 2021, he took photographs in Gelsenkirchen and the Ruhr area during the Corona pandemic: portraits and associative motifs tell the story of a global state of emergency that hits hard even in Gelsenkirchen and paralyzes life.

The LAM Museum presents an exhibition dedicated to one of Germany's greatest visual artists, Anselm Kiefer.

Internationally known and recognized for his monumental works and his work on European memory, he will present at LaM more than one hundred and thirty works that testify to his photographic practice and the question of the revelation of the image, which is essential to his work.
