Building Number 3301
Exhibition at the Parkhaus Gallery
2024/11/22
The Parkhaus Gallery at the Department of Architecture, Technical University of Darmstadt, cordially invites you to the opening of the exhibition "Building Number 3301" on December 10, 2024, at 6 PM. In this exhibition, the artists from the Department of Visual Arts – Katharina Immekus, Kai Altheim, and Stefan Schwarzer – will each design a wall of the gallery, presenting three site-specific wall works. The pieces engage intensively with the architectural characteristics of the building, which is on the brink of renovation.
Following the exhibition opening, an open “Ping-Pong” conversation will take place at 7 PM, giving visitors the opportunity to discuss the artists' approaches directly with them. The evening will then conclude with drinks and music. The exhibition invites attendees to rethink the boundaries between art and architecture and offers a fresh perspective on the building.
Katharina Immekus is a painter and graphic artist. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig from 1994 to 2000, where she co-founded the producer gallery b2, which continues to house her studio. Since 2015, she has been a professor of Visual Arts at the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Darmstadt, where she created the Parkhaus Gallery as an open exhibition space.

He studied photography at the Department of Design in Darmstadt, at the UMPRUM Academy of Art, Design, and Architecture in Prague, and at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle (Saale).
