The Kunsttempel in Kassel is a gallery that focuses on the experimental exploration of language in the media space - verbal, non-verbal and multimodal. It explores a broad spectrum of artistic forms of expression, be it literary, visual, sonic or performative. The focus is primarily on intermedial border crossings that are not limited to a specific genre.
The exhibitions are complemented by a diverse supporting program that includes talks, lectures, readings and performances. This is where internationally renowned artists from different generations come together. The audience experiences the events in an intimate, salon-like atmosphere reminiscent of an artist's studio.
The Kunsttempel was founded in 1999 after the former director, Werner Kausch, professor at the Kunsthochschule Kassel, previously ran the "Studio Kausch" here. The building itself was erected after the First World War and is part of the architectural ensemble around the Stadthalle and Huttenplatz.
