The Tschumi Pavilion or Glass Video Gallery on the Hereplein in Groningen was designed by the French-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi. It was built in 1990 as part of the What a Wonderful World event. Since 1995, various temporary multimedia projects by artists from the Netherlands and abroad have been shown every year. Due to the design of the pavilion, all projects are clearly visible to everyone who passes by or is waiting for the bus. Since December 2021, the Tschumi Pavilion has been managed by Kunstpunt.
A new art project in Tschumi from 19 August
The Tschumi Pavilion is returning to its roots! The tilted glass greenhouse opened in 1990 as a video gallery, and will resume that role this summer: Susanna Inglada, Serge Onnen, Antonia Rehnen, Robbie Cornelissen and Fynn van der Ziel will be exhibiting their video art there from 19 August to 26 September. What makes this even more special is that, for the duration of the exhibition, you’ll also be able to go inside the pavilion! Entry is free; you can visit at the following times:
🗓️ 20 August to 26 September
👉 Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday
🕒 3.00 p.m. – 7.00 p.m.

"Architecture is as much about the event that takes place in a space as it is about the space itself." Bernard Tschumi
