Initiators 2014 – 2021

As an open development-oriented and connective source of art, W139 aims to activate and stimulate artistic and intellectual freedom. In the period 2014 – 2019, W139 offere a continuously renewing group of artists time, space and responsibility to initiate group exhibitions with their artistic practices and ambitions as starting point. During the process from idea to realisation the members of the W139 team offered their knowledges and skills to assist initiators and their groups in making sensory, sensitive and inclusive exhibitions. New initiating artists were selected from the group shows and on the basis of irregular Open Calls. Since 2017 individual artists and artist duos are invited to present new or existing work in the exhibition space on the first floor, the Polarroom.
