THE VIEW Contemporary Art Space

Geschichte

THE VIEW Contemporary Art Space is a new platform for contemporary art and experimental exhibition forms. At exposed locations above the Swiss shore of Lake Constance, three subterranean exhibition rooms and a studio gallery will offer a profound insight into international contemporary art once a year. Actual positions on the themes of space, light, sound, photography, media art and moving pictures will be focused.

The historical water reservoir, built in 1900 of massive concrete, has been reconstructed sensibly and, adaption to the requirements of multi media presentation techniques were implemented, which transformed this location into an extraordinary exhibition space for spatially based installations. Equally the military bunker in Berlingen and the clear, reduced architecture of the air-raid shelter in Salenstein, built in the late 1980s, allows a unique subterranean encounter with contemporary art.

As a connection point and visitor centre between the subterranean project rooms exists a studio gallery, in which changing exhibitions on the art of photography are being exhibited and objects of the exhibiting artists can be acquired.
