GLASMOOG has a new home! You'll find us now (10/2024) at Heumarkt 14.
GLASMOOG is a space for contemporary art and its related fields, founded at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) in 2009. The programme connects regional and international, well-known and lesser well-known artistic positions transferring and extending, with a focus on media arts, the school's discourses into a public gallery.
In autumn 2024, a new chapter begins for GLASMOOG. After 15 years at Filzengraben 2, the gallery space of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne has moved into new, spacious premises at Heumarkt 14. The exhibition area is now around 150 square metres and is characterised by large shop windows on both sides.
The name GLASMOOG – originally chosen after the Moog family's glazier workshop (“Glas Moog”) that once occupied the former location – is still programmatic, reflecting on the character of the neighbourhood, which was shaped by handicraft and trade, and into which the art academy has inscribed itself rhizomatically with its ateliers, laboratories, workshops and studios since its foundation in 1989.
GLASMOOG now functions as a membrane between the art academy, the neighbourhood, the city and the region. GLASMOOG cooperates with regional and international initiatives, projects, academies and public institutions, complemented by public events like artist talks, performances, discussions, and concerts.
