Chicago Meets Burgdorf – Art Connects at Kunstraum MITTE37

Image
Kunstraum MITTE37 demonstrated on Saturday evening just how much potential lies within this new space. The opening of the exhibition EXPANDED FIELD I – migrating the colour fields became one of those rare moments when a small town suddenly feels expansive: open, cosmopolitan, and full of life.

Image
MITTE37 is an independent contemporary art space dedicated to fostering artistic experimentation, critical dialogue, and cross-cultural exchange. Established as a hybrid environment that merges studio practice, exhibition-making, and community engagement, the space operates at the intersection of artistic production and public discourse. Rather than functioning as a fixed institution, MITTE37 positions itself as an evolving platform that continually redefines its scope through each exhibition, collaboration, and curatorial gesture.

These formats operate as conceptual frameworks that bring together diverse ...
