60 years of F.C. Hansa Rostock
From May, an exhibition about the soccer club Hansa Rostock will be shown in the Kunsthalle Rostock to mark its 60th birthday.
There are probably very few people in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern who are unfamiliar with this club. The Kogge is certainly Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's most important logo. Even if not everyone is a soccer enthusiast, the importance of the soccer club is undisputed.
The exhibition is dedicated to the history, the present and also the future of the traditional Rostock club. Stories, art, memories, emotions - everything that characterizes soccer - can be felt and experienced in the exhibition. The focus is on club culture, sport, but also the challenges and dark sides of professional soccer and fan culture.
There will be a variety of installations, photos, videos and works of art to view across 2,000 m². In addition, contemporary witnesses from the past 60 years will have their say.
Positions that artistically reflect political and social issues in the context of soccer will deepen the exhibition. These include works by Birgit Brenner, Hans Ticha, Ingeborg Lüscher, the artist group Famed, as well as works from the Kunsthalle Rostock collection.
