Benjamin Hirte and Christoph Knecht

The Jürgen Ponto Stiftung and MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst have a long-standing partnership which aims to promote young artists at the start of their careers. Under the partnership, the Jürgen Ponto Stiftung provides annual funding for the program at MMK 3 and awards two working scholarships to young creative artists, whose work is subsequently exhibited at the Museum.

The two recipients of the 2013/14 Jürgen Ponto Stiftung scholarships, Benjamin Hirte and Christoph Knecht, have in common that their works combine different artistic media and techniques – sculpture, painting, and installation. The title open handed refers both to the collaboration of the two artists in creating the exhibition and to the open and multidimensional nature of their artistic practice.
