Please touch?! Yes! Visitors to the Kunstpalast are invited to run their fingers along the sculptures of Tony Cragg and feel their contours. The works of the British-German sculptor are made of a wide variety of materials. Prepare for a very special encounter, as the coldness of stone meets the warmth of wood and the smoothness of glass meets the hardness of steel! Be sure to set aside an evening for the Tonhalle: The sound to be heard on 15 April is that of a carved rock, a heart-filled stone – Brahms spent a long time carving out his first piano concerto. At the piano will be a hidden champion of the pianist scene: Stephen Hough, who was allowed to play the Queen Mum’s golden grand piano in the Royal Albert Hall! A few days later, on 19 April, Grigory Sokolov will conjure from the 88 keys the gentle, delicate tones that enrapture us in the works of Bach, Chopin and Schumann. Since the 1980s, their popularity has grown by leaps and bounds. Sneakers: the basketball and hip-hop scene took them from the court to the street, then into the mainstream and finally to the runways of the world’s luxury labels. The exhibition ‘Sneaker’ celebrates these shoes as cult objects, wowing visitors with true collector’s items, design classics and social media icons.
