As part of his exhibition at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey (MARCO) in 2021, Mario García Torres invited people who share his first and last name to a Convencíon de Tocayos (gathering of namesakes) for an exchange of experiences. The respective advertising poster is part of his current show at the Fridericianum. Inspired by this project, the Kunsthalle is granting all Marios and Marias free admission to the current exhibitions on Saturday, July 12. Furthermore, the art education team offers an additional guided tour of A History of Influence for all visitors.

Additional public guided tour: 3–4 pm

The costs for the tour are included in the entrance fee. No registration required.
