Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig GfZK

Profile

The Museum of Contemporary Art, a foundation based in Leipzig, is an exhibition space for contemporary art and a museum for art post 1945. The foundation is supported by the Free State of Saxony, the city of Leipzig and the Friends Organisation of the GfZK. The GfZK promotes and imparts international and national artistic positions on its own premises and in public spaces. Temporary exhibitions by artists of the younger generation as well as important art historical positions of the last decades are showcased in both a Wilhelminian villa remodelled between 1995-8 by the Dresden architect Peter Kulka and a building opened in 2004 by as-if berlinwien. Since 2007 the permanent collection has been presented as a series of changing exhibitions. Alongside its collection and exhibitions, GfZK boasts a publicly accessible library, long-term research projects, grants for young Saxon and international artists, and mediation programmes for children, young people and adults.
