PERIPHERIE 8 turns 5.
It was with a heavy heart that we had to close the project in its current form.
We are no longer able to issue open calls for submissions, as despite our best efforts, we unfortunately do not have the financial resources available to fund the program.
We opened the exhibition space on June 19, 2021.
After 19 exhibitions with around 40 participating artists, we close the exhibition space Off-space PERIPHERIE 8, the Kunstzimmer.
We are often asked whether and how Peripherie 8 will continue.
We are very pleased about this and would like to thank you very much for your support. This much we can reveal: we will definitely be taking a sabbatical first.
Sincerly
