About

The Ausstellungspavillon des Brandenburgischen Kunstvereins Potsdam e. V. is a striking glass cube located on the Freundschaftsinsel, serving as a laboratory and stage for contemporary art. Founded in 1992, the Brandenburgischer Kunstverein (BKV) presents cutting-edge exhibitions that engage with architecture, nature, and social discourse. Since 2011, the pavilion has hosted international artists whose works often respond directly to the surrounding Foerster Garden and the modernist structure itself. The transparent design invites spontaneous interaction with passersby, blurring the line between exhibition and public space. BKV’s program includes installations, video art, painting, and sculpture, with a focus on emerging voices and experimental formats. Recent exhibitions have featured artists like Sabine Hornig and Anna Choi, whose works explore memory, urban space, and cultural identity. The pavilion is open Wednesday to Sunday, with free admission, and continues to be a vital site for artistic exploration in Potsdam’s historic centre.
