 Das KloHäuschen is the small room in the front corner of the outhouse of Munich’s Großmarkthalle (wholesale market) at the west entrance. Up until the late 1990's, this part of the rest room was used as the men's urinals. However, when Munich artist Anja Uhlig first discovered Das KloHäuschen - empty, but beautiful - she fell in love. Anja Uhlig and her "realitaetsbüro" (office for reality affairs), have been renting the space from the city since Jan. 1, 2009. Anja started a project called The Measures to Ensoul the Old Public Toilet at Munich's Wholesale Market. She works with Das KloHäuschen, and together they invite guests to collaborate. They invite them to see Das KloHäuschen in its natural beauty, to identify a way Das KloHäuschen can interact with their own work and together, create a new work, a work which can be created only with and because of this collaboration. In this way, Das KloHäuschen becomes a brand new space with every collaboration. |

When Das KloHäuschen hosts a guest, the work can be seen from the outside at any time. Only sometimes, in exceptional cases, our guests may offer opening hours, when it suits the work in question. This means that the work is always designed in such a way that it functions primarily from the outside - after all, we are a public space. Normally we organize one public event for each guest - this is often an opening - but it doesn't have to be. It can also be something else if it suits the work better. During the event you can meet us and maybe we can drink a beer together.  A beer together at the film premiere with Mediendienst Leistungshölle, 2019 |

NEWS - CURRENT GUESTS On our "aktuell"-page you find all "News": our current and planned guests, an overview over feedback from the press, and some interesting or funny stuff, which Das KloHäuschen has co-produced over the years. It's mostly in German, but I'm confident you'll understand quite a lot. to the NEWS >> |

|
ARCHIVE In our "archiv"-page you find the links to all our guests from the beginning in 2009 until now. They are all presented with their text and (mostly) with images of their collaboration with Das KloHäuschen. If our guests gave us the text in both languages German and English - or just in English (sometimes you know it from their titles) also the page is containing both languages. If we have only the German text, we don't translate it (artist texts sometimes are really not easy to translate). Then we hope, the pictures will give you an impression - and google translate can help, if you like to know more. to the ARCHIVE >> |

Since 2012 Das KloHäuschen is hosting its own biennial, the KloHäuschen Biennale (KHBiX).
With this international art event, once every two years, Das KloHäuschen turns itself into an "exhibition space"
and in doing so also questions what it needs to become such. It hires a curator who invites national and international artists,
it offers "art mediation" and a catalogue - and since the 4th edition each KloHäuschen Biennale has even its own website
www.kh-biennale.world in german and english!
In other words, The KloHäuschen Biennale offers everything you need for a major international
art-event - from KloHäuschen's perspective. And by the way, Das KloHäuschen also confirms its status as a sovereign space, because: "If you have your own biennale, then you are someone like Venice or Istanbul". Everyone knows that. |
