GlogauAir gGmbH

On Glogauer Strasse in Kreuzberg, a historic modernist building from 1896 serves as the home for GlogauAir. Originally a school designed by architect Ludwig Hoffmann – and now a protected cultural heritage site – the structure functions as a non-profit art space and international artist residency. The main school building was destroyed in 1945, leaving a green space and garden next to this surviving rector’s building. The internal layout reflects this dual purpose. The former classrooms on the top three floors have been converted into thirteen live/work studios, with each level containing a shared kitchen and bathroom for the resident artists. Down on the ground floor is the public-facing side of the operation. Here, you’ll find the Project Space, a 150-square-meter exhibition venue made up of three interconnected rooms with white walls, white wood floors, and high windows that fill the space with natural light. GlogauAir’s primary function is its residency program, which brings international artists from all disciplines to Berlin for three or six months. They live and work on-site, receiving curatorial and technical support to develop their practice. The main opportunity to see inside is during the regular Open Studios exhibitions, which showcase the work created by the current residents. The space also hosts workshops, lectures, and a “Berlin Guest” program that invites a local artist or curator to create a dialogue between the international residents and the city's art scene. It’s a platform built for exchange, providing visibility for emerging artists while connecting them directly to Berlin.
