Gallery for Contemporary Art
The Foundation Gallery for Contemporary Art Leipzig (GfZK for short) is an exhibition house for contemporary art, focusing primarily on the period after 1945. Since its opening in 1998, the Gallery for Contemporary Art has developed into one of the leading institutions for contemporary art in the new federal states of Germany and throughout Europe.
The gallery offers visitors a variety of opportunities: visiting important exhibitions—sometimes addressing controversial issues in contemporary art—as well as engaging in discussions with artists and curators in the café or garden, reading publications on contemporary art in the library, or participating in one of the innovative educational programs of the "GfZK FÜR DICH" (For You).
The café, the garden and the shop were conceived and designed by artists – such as DAS KAPITAL or the Café 292 Karangahape Road.
The Gallery of Contemporary Art also offers a wide range of activities for kindergartens and school classes, as well as special holiday programs. Events for children also take place on weekends.
