Description

Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund is a place for all kinds of contemporary visual arts: Painting, sculpture, graphics as well as photography, film, video, room-installation and new media. This scope of artistic discipline can be found in the members work, as well as in the group exhibitions, which are curated by Kuenstlerhaus members, and feature domestic and international artists from around the world. With a focus on contemporary and experimental work, the Kuenstlerhaus is unique in supporting young and emerging artists. This enriches the cultural landscape of Dortmund, which consists of museums and commercial galleries that mostly feature solo exhibitions. The Kuenstlerhaus creates a free space for the arts, offers optimum working conditions for artists from Germany and abroad, and attempts to reach the interested public through direct and personal mediation.

Since 2005 the Kuenstlerhaus offers an additional option for foreign artists resident outside of Germany: the Summer Residency during the summer months June until August.

Location

Built in 1924, the house was a "Waschkaue" and an administration building for the "Schacht Westfalia" coal mining operations. Later, it served as the offices for the "Westfaelische Wohnstaetten AG", and as an administration building for the "Deutsche Edelstahlwerke". Eventually, it was taken over by the Design College of Dormtund. Almost demolished in 1983, it was squatted by a group of students from the college. They founded the independant artist's organization "Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund e.V.".
