Projects - KW Institute for Contemporary Art

Without a permanent collection, flexibility and openness are at the heart of what makes KW special, enabling dynamic, timely programming that resonates both with our times and our audience. In addition to KW’s extensive exhibition program, the institution engages in a wide range of projects. These include commissioned works, city-wide collaborations as well as our monthly Pogo Bar series.
