Also beyond the immediate city centre several off spaces have shot up within Cologne’s many “veedel”. From the many spaces that may be named here, I would like to introduce one exemplary location in Kalk, a former working class neighbourhood on Cologne’s right bank of river Rhine. In 2014 the exhibition space of Büro für Brauchbarkeit (German for “office for usability”), a local studio and coworking space founded in 2002, in a ground-floor shop on busy Trimbornstraße just between the local shopping mall (KölnArcaden) and Kalk’s train station. Regular exhibitions by mostly young artists working in a vast array of genres are regularly set up. Via its Artist in Residency programme the curatorial team also frequently collaborates with international artists and invites everyone to explore innovative art projects within the laid-back charm of the veedel and thus well apart from the city’s familiar art hubs. With a large group exhibition, the art space was relanched in June 2018 under the new name STRIZZI. Not only for the sake of this exciting art spot in Kalk Cologne’s “other side” is worth a visit!
