cube

The cube in Petuelpark is an exhibition space in the basement of a café building in Munich . It was an exhibition subsidiary of the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus .

location

The building stands on the fountain square of the Petuelpark , which is laid out above the Petuelring that runs through the Petuel tunnel . The entrance to the café is on the level of the Fontänenplatz on the north side. On the west side a staircase leads down to the Nymphenburg-Biedersteiner Canal and the street that runs along it. A glass facade on the south side of the building reveals a view of the cube. In front of it a wide bridge leads across the canal like a square.

history

The cube was created as part of Quivid , the city ​​of Munich's art in architecture program . The opening took place on June 7, 2005. Originally it was planned that the Lenbachhaus and its annex should move into its own pavilion in the park. In order to save costs, however, there was an exhibition room in the café building designed by Uwe Kiessler from Munich.

The exhibition room can be seen from the outside, but is only accessible from time to time. It showed quarterly changing exhibitions of contemporary artists, beginning with Stephan Huber's installation "Kalte Kammer" from June to August 2005. Later works by Jan Christensen (2009) and Thomas Locher (2010) were exhibited.
