Since 1998 have the former Rheinmetall AG. Resounds and the adjacent administrative building waited for a new tenant. The entire area that has a use surface of 33500 covers squares meters stands under monument protection. The brick building was established in the 30's-years and served for the conclusion as granary. The administration building accommodated asylum-seekers and stood then longer time empty. Altogether 60 areas, which cover on the average 40 square meters, were available. Into March 2001 then the first artist drew into the empty building. Since then it is rented by the office for federal fortune artists, who with much commitment and selfinitiative made a creative and communicative center within fewer years from a desolate building. Under a roof completely different artist came together: Painters, commercial artists, sculptors, photographers, Patchwork artists, Floral designers, musicians, video artists etc. The common activities are coordinated and organized in a community of interests. Cultural meetings take place, like e.g.. "Open studios"; yard parties with music, "French-German eight" on the occasion of 40. Anniversary of the Elise contract, as well as single and group exhibitions of artists. Starting from May 2004 a gallery with three areas will be available in the art center, which can be rented by particulars or several artists for exhibitions. Many artists offer courses and/or advanced training seminars, which are noticed actively in their studios. Over such meetings as well as over the co-operation of some artists in the "Kiez AG Tegel south" the house is increasingly open for citizens and citizens in the region. In addition of the large commitment of the associations and institutions locally the art center contributes increasingly to a stimulation of the so far rather typical "dormitory suburb" Tegel south. Each tenant of the art center must renovate its area and/or its areas at own expense. But the rent is relatively moderate: 5? Per square meters up to 3? For the cellar areas, where already some workshops, e.g. printing element places for erasures, was furnished. Artists, who have still interest in a studio area, can apply by writing to the VBG Verwaltung Berliner Grundstücke GmbH, Schlesische Str. 29-30, 10997 Berlin or lead under the telephone number 030 - 612 60 14 an informative discussion with Mrs. Anna Bujotzek. The contracts are for an unlimited period and quarterly subject to notice. www.kunstzentrum-berlin-tegel.de
