The 2026 edition

The 23rd edition ran under the motto EO IPSO from 24 to 27 September and on 3 October 2026. It opened at the Hotel At the Park with a documentary film by Thomas Nordanstad and the sound installation "Der Lauscher". There were concerts in the Arnulf Rainer Museum, featuring among others Lene Lovich, Tim Story, Albin Paulus and Sophie Reyer, and in the Frauenkirche with Harald Blüchel and Roedelius. The finale on 3 October was a concert by Roedelius for the Lange Nacht der Museen, as a tribute to Arnulf Rainer and Art Brut.
