NIMM PLATZ - KUNST, KULTUR UND TRANSFORMATION DER INNENSTADT

In the organizer's words:

WHAT ROLE CAN ART AND CULTURE PLAY IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE CITY CENTER?

What happens when art moves into vacant spaces?

The public kick-off event of the interdisciplinary summer school "How to Innenstadt" and the subsequent pop-up exhibition "TOTALAUSVERKAUF" brings together voices from art, urban development, science and retail - for an evening between idea pitch and discussion panel.

The focus is on the question of how art and culture can contribute to the transformation of the city center - and how curatorial practice opens up new perspectives on rear sides, vacancies and central urban spaces. Can it thus become an effective instrument of urban development and inner city transformation?

A project initiated by the Cultural Space Management of the City of Cologne and the Faculty of Architecture at TH Köln, in cooperation with Studio Quack, KölnBusiness, ehret+klein, David Nil Morsi, Lisa Alice Klosterkötter and other partners.

NIMM PLATZ am Neumarkt is a joint project of Cologne's cultural administration and the independent cultural scene, with contributions from the University of Music and Dance (HfMT) and the Academy of Media Arts (KHM).
