Residency

Arena Contemporary. Berlin, Treptow.

‘Arena Contemporary’ is a new 1500m2 independent art space joining the already expansive operations of Berlin Arena Treptow. The first hall in a series of two, ‘Arena Contemporary’ is conceptualised as the complementary piece to the existing cultural offer with the aim to support the development Berlin Treptow Arena into a cultural hub of international resonance. With a strong emphasis on performing and contemporary arts, suited with artist studios, rehearsing rooms and 4D sound; AC aims to offer programs with an emphasis on social and societal impact led by a team of curators, artists and cultural producers with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Independent and tapping on modern hybrid cultural spaces such as Gaîté Lyrique (Paris) and Palais De Tokyo (Paris), ‘Arena Contemporary’ aims to break the stillness of established art institutions. Joining the already vibrant area of Berlin Treptow Arena, ‘Arena Contemporary’ will create and support new norms of cultural exchanges and aims to build a bridge of opportunity, inspiration, and participation towards the higher arts.
