About the location
These are three empty storefronts and adjoining industrial halls - so much for the location. Above all, however, the Kunsthalle is a remarkable initiative, young and already of resounding effectiveness, as it proved for four months during its pilot project in 2022: the occupation of the vacant spaces on Jakobstraße with exhibitions, workshops and a diverse supporting program ranging from artistic performances to open-air cinema. The newly established space for contemporary arts and cultural exchange in the city of Görlitz promises cultural exchange and cooperation with existing art collectives and cultural institutions of the city of Görlitz, as well as with regional and national actors. According to their program, the initiators around Felix Schuster and Luca Thiel want to be a contact point and hub, exchange and meeting place for the art scene in the border triangle Germany/Czech Republic/Poland - permanently and sustainably. A new foundation that enriches the artistic topography of the city - in the border triangle, in the middle of Europe.
