Jim Dine

Jim Dine's site specific pavilion at Kunsthaus Göttingen. 

Venue 

Kunsthaus Göttingen
Düstere Straße
Göttingen, Germany 
 

In the middle of the art quarter, and adjacent to the Kunsthaus, is the studio of US artist Jim Dine. Today he lives and works mainly in New York. In addition, he has also had studios in Paris and Göttingen for years, where he collects inspiration and works several times a year. As a result of Dine’s special connection to Göttingen, he has gifted the town his site-specific installation Poet Singing (The Flowering Sheets). A pavilion – the House of Words – was built especially for this work of art, which is located in the generously landscaped courtyard of the Kunsthaus. Besides the site specific installation, we warmly recommend a visit to the Kunsthaus, inagurated in 2021 and filled with inspiring exhibitions.
