Kunstverein Nürnberg – Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft

Flock VI: Ruine München
30.11.2025, 15:00 Uhr, Foyer Kunstverein Nürnberg
01.12.2025, Flock VI, Akademie der Bildenden Künste Nürnberg

Within a cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and Kunstverein Nürnberg—Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft, artists, thinkers, and curators are invited to present their work at both institutions over two days. At Kunstverein the invitees introduce into their work in the form of a reading, a screening, a performance, a jam session, or similar, and a following conversation. The next day, academy students have the opportunity to exchange about their work with the guests in studio visits at the academy. The Flock format is centered around forms of collaboration and artistic self-organization. 

As part of the performance series Reveries, Ruine München presents RM Jochenstein (Nürnberg Transfer), developed together with the Companion Daphnia magna, the artist Anna Lena Keller, and other partners. The artists weave both historical and imagined links between the Danube — where the so‑called “wet border” between Germany and Austria runs near Passau — and the Wöhrder See, situated right next to the Kunstverein Nürnberg – Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft. The rock of Jochenstein on the Danube and the power plant named after it enter into a dialogue with the Wöhrder See — built in the 1980s — which links the Pegnitz floodplains and hides the bomb craters of the Second World War. The meeting point on 30 November is at Kunstverein Nürnberg – Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft. Free of charge and no registration required.

RM Jochenstein (Nürnberg Transfer) marks the beginning of the three-part performance series Reveries, in which the artists S*an D. Henry‑Smith, Mira Mann, and Ruine München engage with different public spaces in Nuremberg. “Reveries” responds to a present shaped by geopolitical tensions, ecological crises, social polarization, and protest — conditions that at times converge with personal overwhelm, withdrawal, and escapism. The titular daydream becomes a tool for critical reflection and a starting point for collectively shared imaginaries.

Ruine München is a transdisciplinary artists’ collective founded in 2014 by Jan Erbelding, Maria VMier, and Leo Heinik. Working at the intersection of text, performance, and installation, they collaborate with changing human and more-than-human partners, the so‑called Companions, to explore local histories, architecture, infrastructure, and social realities. The resulting proliferative portraits follow the visible and invisible, the organic and the constructed ties that shape it.
