HOUSE

Established in 2023, HOUSE is an independent nomadic art institution. HOUSE hosts international artistic productions, exhibitions, and musical performances. 

In dialogue with the biography of specific buildings or within historical settings, HOUSE-exhibitions and musical performances provoke discourses between the present and the past. Art movements are examined in the framework of localities, to simultaneously remix the historical and contemporary. HOUSE thereby seeks to create a holistic setting for artistic positions.

Thriving on the idea of a collaborative spirit amongst creatives, HOUSE searches for constant dialogues amongst artists, curators, architects, musicians, thinkers, authors, film makers and other inspiration makers. 

Until June 2024 HOUSE was located in Berlin in an unrenovated Wilhelmine building complex from the 19th century, as one of the last remaining ruins in Berlin-Mitte. The first productions were situated in a 40-meter-long former shooting range from the 1930s as the main exhibition space, together with the former King Size bar.  

SHOOTING RANGE

The SHOOTING RANGE served as the main exhibition space. In the 1930s, the format of the room was adapted to its function as an entertainment venue promoted under the motto “Berlin schießt!” (Berlin shoots). The room is 39 meters long, 4.8 meters wide and 4 meters high.

KING SIZE

The KING SIZE BAR was integrated into the exhibition concepts. It also served as a space for the critical exploration of the relationships between utopia and escapism, as divergent concepts that both stem from a desire for transformation.

COURTYARD

The inner COURTYARD is surrounded by the abandoned building ensemble of Friedrichstraße 112 a and b, and was used as an outdoor venue for musical performances and exhibition interventions.
