For 20 years, travellers and visitors have been able to experience contemporary art at Wolfsburg railway station. Currently on display is the exhibition “BREAK” by the Berlin-based artist Roland Schapperts.
At the KUNST-STATION at Wolfsburg Central Station, travellers and visitors can enjoy art whilst they wait.
Contemporary photography, ‘giant toys’ or an entire room made of red artificial turf. Since 2007, the waiting area at Wolfsburg Central Station has regularly been transformed into a small gallery. The KUNST-STATION is popular with the thousands of travellers and visitors who pass through the station every day – as it allows them to experience art right there in the station. The waiting area is open round the clock, thus providing barrier-free access to a low-threshold cultural offering.
The KUNST-STATION project was developed in cooperation with the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, Deutsche Bahn and Neuland Wohnungsgesellschaft, and began in 2005 with the installation of the permanent floor artwork by artist Daniel Buren.
The exhibition “BREAK” can be seen at Wolfsburg Central Station until 31 March 2027.
The large-scale murals are complemented by digital content that visitors can access via QR codes. With ‘BREAK’, the Kunst-Station is expanding its long-standing concept and inviting visitors to experience art through a variety of media.
