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.
On display now: 'The Tilted Greenhouse' BY HADASSAH EMMERICH
The Tilted Greenhouse brings an exotic atmosphere to the Hereplein during the autumn and winter months. With this installation, the internationally active artist Hadassah Emmerich has transformed the pavilion into an exotic greenhouse with imaginary flowers and plants. Central to the installation is the interaction between nature and human intervention. The Tilted Greenhouse is visible 24/7. Even in the dark, the installation is a feast for the eyes.

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