Langenhagen’s 700th anniversary gives us the opportunity to look at the past, present and the future of a town, which can be the example for many other towns: Where do we find public space and how do we interact with it? How do we tell the past? How we live in a globalised world? How would we like to live? How does an urban environment and nature interact with one another? How do we cope with traffic? How do we communicate? How do we consume? Which places would we rather not know? And what is hard to remember? In interaction with these questions the Kunstverein Langenhagen presents the international group exhibition An_Eignungen with artworks around the town.

Whilst some artists have been invited to develop their artworks on-site, other artworks have been chosen and enter into a dialogue with their locations. They show different approaches to the central questions of the exhibition. It proposes a variety of perspectives on contemporary experiences. The exhibition is focusing on ‘everyday living environment’ and corresponds with urban and rural structures. It relates to contemporary scope of action and topics. Topics include amongst others economical and ecological questions as well as exemplary examination of history.
