The Kunstverein München (km) is a non-profit , registered , privately owned association with over 1,300 members that is dedicated to the mediation of contemporary art. The art association based in the historical arcades of the Munich Hofgarten was founded in 1823 and is therefore one of the oldest German art associations . He belongs to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Kunstvereine (ADKV).
history
Founding time
The Munich Art Association was also founded to mediate between contemporary art production and those interested in art and, last but not least, to create a sales forum for current art that had not existed in Munich before. It also supplemented the institutions for fine arts in Munich, which had been given an initial boost with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, founded in 1808 . Dealing with culture and collecting art should no longer be left to the nobility alone. In line with this founding idea, the art association initially served as a form and forum for self-organization for a newly emerging bourgeois public, which in the early 19th century opened up not only new political but also cultural territory.
present
Maurin Dietrich has been the director of the Kunstverein München since July 2019 . Gloria Hasnay has been a curator at the Kunstverein since October 2019 .

program
Art associations were and are not only places for the presentation of contemporary art, but above all for social exchange, at which a critical awareness of "contemporaneity" can arise through active engagement with the art of the time. It is precisely this central idea of a vital social exchange on insecure cultural terrain that still shapes the work of the Kunstverein today - albeit under changed political and social conditions - as an indispensable force in the network of cultural institutions. According to its current program, the Kunstverein would like to differentiate itself from other art institutions in an autonomous and unconventional way and through its work make a contribution to the political discourse through art. It is dedicated to the presentation and communication of contemporary art, internationally oriented, but with a view to the local context. The association regularly organizes exhibitions, lectures, artist talks, conferences, film screenings, art trips and issues publications.
As a privately owned association, the Munich Art Association operates relatively independently of both direct economic and (cultural) political interests. This double autonomy predestines it as a place for artistic experimentation, in which innovative curatorial work can be carried out without false consideration of political obligations or mercantile calculations. In recent years, the Kunstverein has increasingly pursued its structurally favored ability to react quickly to current artistic developments on an international scale. a. in cooperation with SMAK (Gent), Museo Tamayo (Mexico City), Hayward Gallery (London), CAC (Vilnius), Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), Emily Carr Institute (Vancouver), White Columns (New York), tranzit .sk (Bratislava), CASCO (Utrecht), ICA (London) and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York).
