Kunstverein is a curatorial office that 
researches and pushes the concepts of art 
presentation and was founded in 2009 by Maxine 
Kopsa and Krist Gruijthuijsen. It is a space for 
exhibitions, performative and social events and, 
at times, a bookshop. Kunstverein is also a 
publishing house and a membership-based 
franchise, with sister "vereins" in Toronto and 
Milan. Kunstverein pairs discreet institutional 
ambition with beneficial nonconformity, on an 
intimate scale. Kunstverein questions prevailing 
models of presentation and at the same time 
remains in dialogue with the existing discursive 
field (local and global) so as to propose 
inspiring alternatives to staging cultural 
production.

After 10 years, co-founding director Maxine Kopsa 
will be leaving Kunstverein, but in good hands: 
Yana Foqué will be taking over as director.

Kopsa: "It's time to pass on the baton. I am 
extremely proud and satisfied with the work done 
thus far and excited to see a new generation take 
on the next ten years. Kunstverein fulfills a 
crucial part in the cultural landscape of the 
city and has built up a solid network 
internationally. In these difficult times, I 
believe Kunstverein's role as cultural generator 
for reflection and conversation on an intimate 
yet global level can only expand."

Foqué: "I look forward to carry on the line of 
remarkable projects that Kunstverein has become 
known for with a renewed team. Together we will 
reassess what our (cultural) climate lacks today 
and attempt to fill those gaps, with one eye on 
the past and the other on the now."
