Venue

Since 2001, the Falckenberg Collection has been based at Phoenix-Hallen in Hamburg’s Harburg district. In 2007, Harald Falckenberg acquired one of the buildings and had Berlin-based architect Roger Bundschuh convert it into a spacious exhibition hall with 6 000 sqm for his collection.

The new hall opened on May 30, 2008 and by 2010 had hosted 28 exhibitions, featuring artists such as Paul Thek, Jon Kessler and Robert Wilson, not to mention themed shows and presentations of the collection. The expansive rooms mean that the hall is predestined for shows of larger-size installations and multimedia projects by artists such as John Bock, General Idea, Thomas Hirschhorn, Mike Kelley, Jon Kessler, Jonathan Meese, and Gregor Schneider.

Since January 2011 the Falckenberg Collection has become part of Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
