The Kölnischer Kunstverein: Art and Migration
www.koelnischerkunstverein.de

The Kölnischer Kunstverein is the carrier of the "Project Migration" initiated by the Cultural Foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 2002 there have been lecture and film series, exhibitions, discussions and workshops on the theme of migration at the Kölnischer Kunstverein. With this long-term and diverse program of events, to which internationally recognized artists, architects, filmmakers and theorists are invited, the Kölnischer Kunstverein enables a broad and enhancing perception and discussion of the theme of migration. One of the thematic focal points of this event series is the question of how migration as a principle of art and thinking is inscribed in contemporary artistic and theoretical productions. In addition, the Kölnischer Kunstverein investigates and initiates contemporary artistic positions that deal with the representation and visualization of migration in many different ways and will be shown in a major exhibition project in Cologne in 2005.
