STRIZZI


STRIZZI
Renamed as Strizzi in 2018, the exhibition space formerly known as Brauchbarkeit has shown contemporary and emergent art in the areas of installation, photography, interactive art, performance art and painting since 2013. The space is in Kalk on the east side of the Rhine and, with its two large shop windows, represents a direct interface to the residents in this multicultural district. A charming backyard bar and terrace offers visitors the chance to chat and spend an interesting evening in Kalk. [read more]

Ausstellungsraum Q18


q18
Quartier am Hafen is a place of artistic dialogue, research and production. More than 80 professional visual artists, media artists, designers, dancers and musicians have rented rooms here since 2010, almost half of which are sponsored by the City of Cologne’s cultural department. Curated solo and group exhibitions by invited artists are shown four times a year in the Q18 exhibition space, which opened in 2011. The series is conceived by a different curator each year. A funding programme gives emerging curators the possibility to develop and position themselves over the course of the year. A residency programme is currently under development. [read more]
