For Children: Art Stories since 1968
What motivates artists worldwide to create artworks for children? What does it mean to be a child today? Is childhood a closed chapter or a state of being?
Rivane Neuenschwander is a part of For Children: Art Stories since 1968, a group exhibition at Haus der Kunst open from 18 July to 1 February 2026. The exhibition explores childhood and what it means to create artworks for young audiences. Visitors of all ages are invited to enter into a dialogue with contemporary art and with each other, to rethink today’s understanding of childhood.
The exhibition explores universal themes such as humanity, society, politics, economy, environment, technology, and the future – topics we first encounter as children and that accompany us throughout our lives. It brings together works created specifically for young people since the late 1960s, by over twenty international artists, including Rivane Neuenschwander, Antoine Catala, Ólafur Elíasson, Lygia Pape, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, amongst others.
