In the location's words:

In the Hall for Contemporary Art, contemporary artistic positions are presented in large-scale projects. Together with the artists, each exhibition is conceived from scratch, sometimes spectacularly arranged, and can be experienced as a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk. An important factor here is the open, modern atmosphere of the northern Deichtorhalle. The art is presented in a special field of tension: between intimate and sublime spaces, between indoor and outdoor displays, always in dialogue with the functional, architectural surroundings.

With around 3800 square meters, the Hall for Contemporary Art offers the largest contiguous exhibition space for contemporary art in Europe and thus space for unique artistic installations that are only possible at this location.
