Our space is the city. We associate it with contemporary art. Our program is up-to-date, eager to experiment and takes risks. It’s an offer for everyone. As diverse as the art and the urban society itself.
The art projects are temporary. They interact with places, people and their everyday world – analogue and digital. The surprising confrontation with art becomes a personal experience. We are happy about curiosity, encounters, are approachable, explain and endure dissent.
The attention belongs to the art. It takes a stance on current issues, makes statements and stimulates discussions. The art projects seize the moment. Your impulses have an effect.
We grant artists and curators support, freedom and professional framework conditions. Tenders and competitions precede our project selection. It is important to us that art is seen as a communicative process.
We are aware of our special responsibility for public space.
The city of Munich invests 1.5 percent of its construction costs in art every year. Half of the budget goes to Quivid, the art-in-architecture program of the City of Munich, which is managed by the building department. The other half is used for project-related temporary art in public spaces. This funding program has been anchored in the cultural department since 2009.
