Kunstfabrik HB55 & L'espace de l'espèce

In the location's words:

Kunstfabrik HB55 in Berlin Lichtenberg Studio, workshop, room or hall for creative work. From 15-300 square meters, a wide variety of spaces are available for rent. We already unite more than 200 creatives across disciplines and without restrictions under the roof of the former 7000sqm margarine factory: painters, sculptors, (fashion) designers, photographers, sound artists and many more. Inquiries info@hb55.de The Kunstfabrik HB55 stands for creative work at former industrial sites in Berlin and at the same time also for a new model. International private investors stand behind this project and finance an autonomous management team, which leads the artists' studio house in the long term and with expertise towards a haven of art, which honestly and consistently supports the interests of its artists, networks them with each other and supports them in their independence. With the aim of securing a long-term and affordable workplace and place for experimentation for the artists, two former industrial halls, which have been converted into exhibition spaces, are exclusively available to the tenants for free use. Furthermore, HB55 offers the tenants curatorial support and participation in curated exhibitions free of charge. In addition, group exhibitions take place during the Berlin Gallery Weekend and Art Week, supplemented by open studios and a cultural program. L'espace de l'espèce - a space that defies classic attributions of the art market and presents the works of emerging artists of Kunstfabrik HB55 in exhibitions curated by Kerstin Godschalk. What is behind L'espace de l'espèce? L'espace de l'espèce (French for space of humanity) Loosely based on Henri Lefebvre, "La production de l'espace" lets L'espace de l'espèce with the exhibited works create a space about and for social interaction. The creative potential A sociological view of art underlies the curated exhibitions. The distance to the audience is to be overcome and through the dialogue with, over and under the works the creative potential is to be strengthened as a component of the confrontation with the reality of life. For society itself has the character of a work, is a moment of art, is creation and just as true. According to Henri Lefebvre, we constantly recreate the exhibition space as well as the social space through our interactions and movements. In change The exhibition space wants to open up to the outside, to break up distances and fixed structures as well as habits of seeing. In order to promote associations and different perspectives, which, among other things, allow conclusions to be drawn about current socio-political issues, the exhibitions are usually performed in the course of the openings. The building is located in Herzbergstraße, in the district of Berlin-Lichtenberg and is easily accessible by public transport, metro streetcar (M8) and bus. This content has been machine translated.
