KW Institute for Contemporary Art engages with the central questions of our time through the production, presentation, and discussion of art. Attuned to the evolving needs of Berlin’s artists and practitioners, KW occupies a unique position as a transnational institution deeply rooted in our local context. Without a permanent collection, flexibility and openness lie at the heart of what makes KW special, as well as creating dynamic and timely programming that resonates with our times and audience.
Discover KW's new visual identity — a world of scribbles, notes, and impromptu additions. It redefines the institution’s presence while staying true to its history. Created in collaboration with the design studio Correspondence, the new identity ensures clarity of voice while remaining open to all.
KW Friends is a non-profit organisation in support of KW Institute for Contemporary Art and the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. Become a Friend and discover our art-community!
