Anna Jehle und Juliane Schickedanz

Since 2020, Anna Jehle and Juliane Schickedanz are co-directing Kunsthalle Osnabrück, one of the most important platforms for contemporary art in northern Germany, located in a former monastery and adjunct church. Curatorially, they work with annual themes such as »Disappointment« (2020), »Accessibility« (2021) or »Romanticism« (2022). Based on a structural interest and in the sense of a learning institution, the annual themes aim to tackle thematic complexes in a sustainable and more comprehensive approach through new artistic productions by internationally renowned artists. The Kunsthalle Osnabrück's programmes, which are conceptualised as processual and interdisciplinary, address socio-politically relevant issues and place an explicit focus on the inclusion of social processes that understand these issues as an integral part of cultural production. With its experimental and sensually tangible exhibitions and art mediation projects, the Kunsthalle has become a place for discourse and of conviviality that aims to transcend social boundaries.
