Kunstverein Braunschweig: A Hub for Contemporary Art in Germany
The Kunstverein Braunschweig, one of Germany's most prestigious art associations, has been a vibrant centre for contemporary art since its establishment in 1832. Located at Lessingplatz 12, 38100 Braunschweig, this institution is easily accessible from Braunschweig Central Station. Take Tram 2 to John-F.-Kennedy-Platz, or alternatively, Bus 429 and 461 will also get you there.
The Kunstverein Braunschweig can be reached via email at info@kunstvereinunsere Website.de or by phone at 0531 49556. Their website, https://kunstvereinunsere Website.de/, offers a wealth of information and opens in a new tab when accessed.
Under the leadership of Director Jule Hillgärtner, who has been at the helm since November 2014, except for periods of parental leave when interim directors Christina Lehnert and Nuno de Brito Rocha took over, the Kunstverein Braunschweig has been promoting young positions in the discourse of contemporary art.
The Kunstverein Braunschweig is open to the public Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00 to 17:00, and Thursday, 11:00 to 20:00. On Thursdays, the institution extends its hours, offering visitors an opportunity to engage with contemporary art until 20:00.
The Kunstverein Braunschweig presents eight solo or group exhibitions each year, four of which are held annually in the Remise. This space serves as a testing ground for young artistic positions and curatorial projects, providing a platform for emerging talent.
The exhibitions at the Kunstverein Braunschweig feature significant positions in international contemporary art. To learn more about these exhibitions, visitors can explore the homepage (Homepage Kunstverein Braunschweig e.V.) or attend artist talks, guided tours, lecture series, and other events organised by the institution.
The Kunstverein Braunschweig is more than just an art gallery; it's a lively place for exchange and dialogue. Through the publication of exhibition catalogues, the institution communicates the potential of contemporary art production, fostering a dynamic and engaging environment for art enthusiasts.
