Open House

In the organizer's words:

Every year, the studios in Speicher II open their doors to present the latest works and artistic creations of the past year to the public. This year there is also a special reason to celebrate: Speicher II is 20 years old.

The entire spectrum of contemporary art will be on display, from painting and drawing to photography, sculpture and installation art, film and video, sound art and performance. The Open House offers an interested audience the opportunity to experience freelance artists and their workplaces up close and to learn more about their work in a personal conversation.

Since its opening in 2004, the Atelierhaus an Münsters Hafen has developed into a central location for young art with supra-regional significance and international appeal. Together with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the publisher Wolfgang Hölker, the city of Münster has converted the former granary into a production and presentation venue for contemporary art. The 32 studios sponsored by the City of Münster's Department of Culture provide professional artists with excellent working conditions for several years at a time.

On the fifth floor of the building, Kunsthalle Münster will be showing the exhibition forms of the surrounding futures, which explores queer futures, during the Open House. Mike Karstens Galerie is presenting works by artists from Germany and abroad to mark the anniversary.

We would like to celebrate 20 years of Speicher II with a concentrated load of the present. There is a lot to discover.
