The HEIMSPIEL exhibition series organised by the Cultural Office of the City of Mannheim’s is continuing. On 23 October at 7 pm, PORT25 – Raum für Gegenwartskunst will open the exhibition series for the seventh time. The art acquisitions made by the City of Mannheim’s Cultural Office reflect the enormous diversity of artistic expression among the visual artists living in Mannheim. To date, 68 Mannheim-based artists have been supported directly through the purchase of their works. Making the acquired works accessible to a wider audience is part of this support. Thus, in 2022, the Cultural Office launched the HEIMSPIEL exhibition series. The series features both young artists at the start of their careers, as well as established figures who have, in some cases, made a significant impact on the cultural life of this city.

The acquired works span a wide range, from photography, painting, drawing and printmaking, through steel sculptures and ceramics, to installation and conceptual art. The character of each exhibition is always different, offering new points of connection.

HEIMSPIEL 7 showcases the Cultural Office’s most recent acquisitions by seven Mannheim-based artists. Bernhard Sandforts “Sehwege” feature in every HEIMSPIEL issue and run like a common thread through the exhibition series. In 2015, six panels from the series were acquired.
