Just a few weeks after the Kunsthalle Rostock reopened in early May, the museum boasted an exhibition by “panic rocker” Udo Lindenberg (76). This is to be opened on June 1st, as reported by the “Ostsee-Zeitung”.
According to this, photographs and paintings such as some of the musician and artist’s “Liqueurelle” painted with alcohol will be exhibited on around 2,000 square meters. According to the report, the Kunsthalle would also like to present music from Lindenberg’s long oeuvre. The 76-year-old is also expected at the opening of the exhibition.
There should have been an exhibition by Lindenberg in Rostock around three years ago, but the Kunsthalle had to cancel it in 2020 due to the corona pandemic. A conscious decision was made “because we want to celebrate a big festival of art and music with Udo over the entire term,” says Dr. Uwe Neumann, director of the Kunsthalle Rostock, quoted. “So one summer Udo in Rostock.”
Lindenberg is currently leading the German single charts, determined by GfK Entertainment, together with Apache 207 (25) and the joint song “Komet”. The collaboration took him to the top of the singles charts for the first time in his long career in early February. The musician had not previously succeeded in doing this with hits like “Sonderzug nach Pankow” or “Cello”.
On May 6th and 7th there will be an “Open Day” in the Kunsthalle after its general renovation. A ceremonial reopening of the art museum will follow on May 8th, in which Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (48) will also take part.
