Founded in 2024, the Kunstverein is located in the striking Wünschmann-Haus on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, with its exhibition space set high beneath the building’s historic dome, 47 meters above the street. The venue’s unusual architecture creates a dramatic stage for contemporary art, where sound, light, and space interact in powerful ways. 47m Contemporary was established by a collective of curators and artists who felt Leipzig’s vibrant scene needed a stronger international and socially engaged dimension. Its program emphasizes works that spark dialogue and friction, addressing themes such as identity, feminism, antisemitism, and global politics. Early exhibitions have included the Georgian artist Shalva Nikvashvili and Israeli filmmaker Yael Bartana, whose installations explored questions of war, memory, and feminist futures. With regular openings on Fridays and Saturdays from 15:00 to 20:00, the Kunstverein invites audiences to experience art that challenges conventions while connecting Leipzig to broader cultural debates. 47m Contemporary is not just a gallery but a platform for discourse, collaboration, and critical reflection in one of the city’s most atmospheric spaces.
Leipzig Germany47m Contemporary is located on the sixth floor of Wünschmann Haus at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 12, in Leipzig’s lively Südvorstadt district. The gallery sits directly on the bustling Karl-Liebknecht-Straße (“KarLi”), well-known for its array of cafés, bars, and independent shops that create a vibrant urban neighborhood atmosphere. Within close proximity are other cultural venues such as Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst and Kunstkraftwerk, offering additional contemporary art experiences. The area is also near Leipzig’s city center, with attractions like the historic Peterskirche, Clara-Zetkin-Park, and Museum der bildenden Künste easily accessible on foot or by public transport, making 47m Contemporary an integral part of the city’s dynamic creative scene.
