In september 2012 Kunsthaus Tacheles has been evicted. Now it is an empty building in the middle of Berlin. Its artists are still working together in projects and exhibitions in Germany and abroad. I am glad to be part of this community as a testified Tacheles Artist.

For further information go to the blog archiv of Martin Reiter, speaker of Kunsthaus Tacheles:

By Prof. Dr. Ulrich KrempelHead of the Sprengel Museum, Hannover, May 1997TACHELES... a story, that art ruins in Berlin-Mitte."Over the years of its existence the Kunsthaus Tacheles has grown into a complex work of art. Indication of this is that far beyond Berlin, Kunsthaus Tacheles, a symbol of the situation of reunified Berlin become the beginning of a fresh, from mercantile considerations largely freed artistic presence . The Kunsthaus Tacheles is available as part of the image of a new profile to the struggling, artistically free Berlin as much internationally.The work of artists over the years is, of course, as with self-managed and initiated projects easy to understand, not without contradictions. However, such organizational problems and issues of the Constitution of the house can be seen rather secondary: in addition to the enormous increase in artistic power and the clarity with which the institution aims at a counterpoint to the existing ruling and institutionalized culture, but the Kunsthaus Tacheles is even, as the operators have been formulated, test arrangement, quasi-art laboratory and thus both housing as well as the subject of artistic activity. Tacheles has a structure and a housing supplement, and both pass through each other, and for the future of Tacheles, this construction must first be ensured. Alternatives are not easy to produce through provision of premises, but the Tacheles itself in its specific design and art strategic location is a place of the development of Berlin - Mitte. Determined yet visible and has profiledThe aspect of the overall work of art has been incorporated in the discussion so far in my opinion totally inadequate. Just as the Tacheles centering international, young, experimental art forms and flowing to Berlin - has promoted the middle, so it is in the present situation as a point of discussion continue living part of an overall artistic process. The Tacheles must be maintained in order to continue the process and can bring solutions to, which started artistically.The combined company as Tacheles art could not disappear from the scene, at the same time without leaving a big hole and a significant loss in the weak structure of contemporary Berlin art situation. Tacheles is a part of Berlin's creative and experimental art presence
