Bildlabor Kleistpark
Grundsteinbuch

available März 2026

To mark the laying of the cornerstone for the Bildlabor Kleistpark in March 2026, the Grundsteinbuch [cornerstone book] not only provides information about the architecture being built. It also articulates the vision for interdisciplinary image-based work: creative work with a growing collection, art education involving active audience participation, and research and material analysis of art on paper will all come together under one roof at Kleistpark.
