100 Years of Waschkaue
Raum als Ort is the second of three anniversary exhibitions to mark the 100th birthday of the Künstlerhaus Dortmund. The building was constructed in 1924 as a washhouse ("Waschkaue") and operations building for Schacht Westfalia and was later used as an office building for Westfälische Wohnstätten AG, as the administrative headquarters of Deutsche Edelstahlwerke and most recently by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts for Design.
Students from this school occupied the building and fought for its current status, self-administration. In 1987, the Künstlerhaus was renovated and converted with funds from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the city of Dortmund and Sparkasse Dortmund. As part of the anniversary exhibitions, there will be a program with actors from the history of the house.
