KW Institute for Contemporary Art

ArtOpen until 7pmFrom €10Oranienburger Straße (S1, S2, S25, S26)

Το KW Institute for Contemporary Art ιδρύθηκε το 1991 από τον Klaus Biesenbach σε ένα εγκαταλελειμμένο εργοστάσιο μαργαρίνης στην Auguststraße, ένα διατηρητέο κτιριακό συγκρότημα με εσωτερική αυλή στο Berlin-Mitte. Χωρίς μόνιμη συλλογή, φιλοξενεί περιοδικές εκθέσεις, περφόρμανς και ομιλίες τόσο από καταξιωμένους όσο και από ανερχόμενους καλλιτέχνες, ενώ παράλληλα διοργανώνει την Berlin Biennale. Στους δημόσιους χώρους του παρουσιάζονται έργα ειδικής ανάθεσης, όπως το γυάλινο περίπτερο-καθρέφτης του Dan Graham που στεγάζει το Café Bravo στην αυλή.
