about
Art and artistic expression require physical space for creation, presentation and dialogue. An artist’s need for such an environment is omnipresent, while finding it in a central location has become almost utopian.
In a space in the middle of Kreuzberg we will make this Utopia come true: A place where artists are allowed to experiment, create and polarize, and where we offer visitors a platform for dialogue and discovery.
