CHRONOS & KAIROS at the Cultural Forum Schwerin: Time, Women, Art as an Impressive Artistic Experience
With the exhibition opening CHRONOS & KAIROS, the Cultural Forum Schleswig-Holstein House focuses on the artistic presence of women on September 13, 2026. The exhibition of artists from GEDOK M-V connects image, photography, object, word, and song into a multi-layered resonance space that unfolds a special exhibition atmosphere in the historic house of Schwerin's Schelfstadt. Admission is free, the artists will be present, and the opening will take place in the garden of the house in good weather.

Time as a Theme, Art as an Attitude
CHRONOS & KAIROS does not rely on mere illustration but on an aesthetic experience in which time becomes visible as a space of life and experience. The exhibition ties in with the 100th anniversary of GEDOK, the network founded in 1926 by Ida Dehmel to promote women artists in visual arts, music, literature, performing and applied arts. This historical depth gives the exhibition its art-historical authority.

Diversity of Media, Density of Perspectives
In Schwerin, visitors encounter works by Ursula Bahr, Jana Beerhold, Carmen Blazejewski, Karin Camara, Monika Hellwig, Angelika Janz, Silke Krempien, Merete de Kruyf, Sophia Maeno, Traute von Mendelssohn, Margrit Rieger, Susanna Schultz, Dorothea Walz, Anke Weßling, and Dagmar Zehnel. The range of artistic positions extends from image and photography to object and text, as well as sound and performance. Thus, a monolithic hanging does not emerge, but a vibrant curation that brings different artistic languages into conversation.

The Cultural Forum as an Ideal Place for Contemporary Art
The Cultural Forum Schleswig-Holstein House has been a venue for exhibitions, concerts, readings, and cultural mediation for years. The listed brick building in Schwerin's Schelfstadt offers gallery spaces, a garden, a coach house with a printing workshop, and barrier-free access. The house is generally open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. This mix of historic architecture, open cultural landscape, and museum educational offerings makes the place an ideal setting for an exhibition on time, memory, and female artistic positions.

Opening with Music and Art Historical Introduction
The opening on September 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM will be welcomed by Dörte Ahrens. Mandy Pfeifer and Monika Hellwig will give greetings, and Dr. Gerlinde Förster will provide the introduction. Musically, Sophia Maeno will accompany on vocals, Yuko Ellinger on piano. The event thereby gains a performative dimension that particularly emphasizes the transition between exhibition, conversation, and performance.

What Visitors Can Expect
Those who visit CHRONOS & KAIROS will not experience a mere anniversary exhibition but a carefully curated artistic experience about female visibility, memory, and presence. The hanging in the Cultural Forum Schwerin combines thematic depth with sensory density, the historical ambiance with contemporary art. This is exactly where the special strength of this exhibition lies: it invites not only to look but to reflect, linger, and return. A visit in person is definitely worth it.
