AG Tempelhof

  1. Objective:
    Claim: 50% Tempelhof Airport – space for art (production, presentation and storage)
    The former Tempelhof airport building is to become a central location for Berlin’s independent art scene. The diverse spatial possibilities offer space for all artistic disciplines.
    No vacancies! From now on, all usable rooms will be available for artistic work.
    No commerce! These state-owned spaces should become the infrastructural basis for independent artistic work.
    The coalition of the independent scene should be the key partner for the state of Berlin for all artistic uses at Tempelhof Airport. We develop utilization concepts, allocation procedures and financing models.
