Artistic Interventions in Frankfurt am Main

On your way through the city, a five-minute wait can feel like a fleeting moment and an eternity at the same time. Do you get nervous or take a deep breath?

FIVE MINUTES (LATE) presents a series of artistic interventions by Ziva Drvaric, Aleksandar Radan, Moreno Schweikle, Jakob Spengemann and Eleni Wittbrodt in public space. The situation-specific works can be found in the heart of Frankfurt's city centre – from the central station to the landmarked clock tower close to the zoo – and blend in with the everyday paths taken by those who live and work here.

On perseverance and lingering, waiting as pause and interruption – the works of the five invited artists explore the ambivalent potential of a mere five-minute period in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

Join us for the opening on Monday, September 16! There will be a guided tour to all locations with the artists and the curator at 18:00 and drinks at Hotel Nizza at 20:00. Further details will follow on the previous day on Instagram @fiveminutes_late.

The interventions will be on view from September 16 to October 13. Opening hours may vary from location to location.
