Initiatives

Mélange


MÉLANGE ist eine Initiative von Patrick C. Haas und Jonas Schenk, die seit April 2015 Solo- und Duoprojekte mit zeitgenössischen Künstlern realisiert, die mehrheitlich im Rheinland bisher keine Präsenz gehabt haben. Zusätzlich steht der Austausch mit international agierenden Kunsträumen im Fokus, wodurch immer wieder neue Positionen für die hiesige Szene zugänglich gemacht werden. Durch den ständigen Ausbau des Netzwerks soll der Standort Köln gestärkt und ein internationales Interesse für die Region angeregt werden. [read more]

kjubh Kunstverein e.V.


kjubh
kjubh Kunstverein e.V. is a non-commercial exhibition initiative, which occupies a niche in Cologne between institutions and the independent scene. Since its foundation in 2000, various curators have presented current art in cooperation with kjubh. Heads of larger art associations as well as renowned independent curators have set up individual exhibitions here or supervised the programme over a longer period. With a productive mixture of young, international and local positions, kjubh consciously avoids programmatic definition. The initiative sees itself as an open, lively podium for a broad variety of media and forms of expression and has established itself as a meeting place for well-informed visitors, also thanks to its flexibility in showing older and marginal positions.
