history

The studio and exhibition house ATELIERFRANKFURT was founded in 2004 from a private initiative for affordable studio space for artists in Frankfurt. The house quickly established itself as a place of production, presentation and networking for the young Frankfurt art scene. Institutions such as the Lichter Filmfest Frankfurt International, the music series acousmain, freitagsküche, the thing, salon noir were part of the AF.

From 2004 to 2013, the AF was an intermediate tenant of the former main administration building of Andreae-Noris Zahn AG , which was previously part of the police headquarters. There, the Offspace provided 45 studio rooms for artists and creative people on 3,500 square meters, staged numerous solo and group exhibitions and was a popular place for readings and discussions. It was demolished in 2014.

The studio and exhibition house has occupied 11,000 square meters in the up-and-coming Ostend in Frankfurt since 2014. Where it is now the largest artist house in the Rhine-Main region. The warehouse in the Osthafen was built as the headquarters of the food retail chain Jakob Latscha in 1912 and was later acquired and used by the company Alexander Loulakis Getränkeevertrieb GmbH & Co KG.

On September 11th, 2014, the association organized a charity auction. The association was able to win Christie's auction house as a partner for the benefit auction. Arno Verkade, Managing Director, led the evening as auctioneer and auctioned around 35 works of art by artists from all over the world. The proceeds went towards the renovation of the new building.

After extensive renovation work, the association opened the new location in November 2014.

Since 2016 the studio house has housed the "canteen". This serves as a meeting point for artists, creative people and neighbors from the area. The outer walls of the Organic Coffee Lounge are decorated with wall paintings by the local artists Jörg Eibelshäuser, Corinna Mayer, Samuel Adam Woodhall and Guido Zimmermann. The project was financed by a charity dinner organized by the association.

The actual exhibition rooms, which cover more than 200 m 2 of space , are expected to open in November 2017 . Future goals are therefore not only to act as an interface for artists, creative people and those interested in art, but also to increasingly curate or supervise exhibitions in their own premises. The focus should be on national and international projects.

Association and organizational structure

The non-profit association is financially supported by donations from private individuals, companies and foundations as well as by the cultural office of the city of Frankfurt am Main. The executive, honorary board of the association consists of Jörg Mugrauer, Jochen Czelecz, Daniel Missethon and Sebastian Daub. In addition, the association is supported by an advisory board headed by Petra Roth , the former mayor of the city of Frankfurt am Main.

The curator Jean-Christophe Ammann , who died in 2015 , has been an important member of the advisory board since the association was founded and has had a major impact on its work. The house is managed by a four-person team that "pools, communicates and realizes ideas, projects and administrative matters."
