Florian Haas Studio Visit
Florian Haas presents in his, naively seeming paintings, that are rich in colour, still lifes and landscapes that arise from his imagination. In the context of the exhibition "The Inner Life of Things" the artist shows us mainly in small and also large-size oil paintings portraits of mushrooms. These appears through a process of his sensitive observation and appreciation. During the studio visit Florian Haas will speak about the works presented at the Frankfurter Kunstverein in context of his general artistic ideas and paintings.
Florian Haas, who lives and works in Frankfurt/Main, was born in Freiburg in 1961. In 1983-1988 he studied under Peter Dreher at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe.

Frankfurter Stadtgespräch: „Nach der Krise? – Aus der Finanzkrise lernen: Was war und was noch kommen wird“ Tom Koenigs in conversation with Professor Reinhard H. Schmidt, Moderation: Peter Siller
The Research Network ‘The Formation of Normative Orders’ of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and the Frankfurter Kunstverein are pleased to announce the first Frankfurt Encounter, which will take place in the Café im Kunstverein at the Steinernes Haus am Römerberg. Each Encounter will feature two stimulating guests thinking aloud and discussing current issues of social development at the interface between science, politics and culture.The first Encounter will not only ask what the events of the past year have taught us about the financial system. It will also ask what lessons the crisis can teach us about our social order. Is the moral of the crisis also a crisis of morality? Tom Koenigs served for many years as Frankfurt city treasurer and as an expert in human rights policy. His experience extends from local politics to the international financial system. Professor Reinhard H. Schmidt has been recognised for decades as one of the leading experts on the German and international financial system. Thus the first Encounter promises to be a highly instructive open exchange between two outstanding personalities.
A series of events of the Cluster of Excellence ‘The Formation of Normative Orders’ of the Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main in collaboration with the Frankfurter Kunstverein.
