KW Institute for Contemporary Art

"One of the city’s most established independent art galleries, the Kunst Werke Institute has been operating since the early ‘90s, and played a key role in Auguststrasse’s transformation into an “art street”. Set inside a former margarine factory, the interior comprises a series of simple, white-walled rooms that present regular cutting-edge exhibitions from rising stars — German and international — as well as major names like Dinos and Jake Chapman and Paul Pfeiffer. There’s also a pleasant courtyard café designed by American artist Dan Graham, several studios for resident artists, and the venue hosts the highly popular Art Biennale." - MATADOR_NETWORK
