The Tschumi Pavilion or Glass Video Gallery on the Hereplein in Groningen was designed by the French-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi. It was built in 1990 as part of the What a Wonderful World event. Since 1995, various temporary multimedia projects by artists from the Netherlands and abroad have been shown every year. Due to the design of the pavilion, all projects are clearly visible to everyone who passes by or is waiting for the bus. Since December 2021, the Tschumi Pavilion has been managed by Kunstpunt.
On display now: ‘Chromatic Reflections’ by Tamar Frank
Until February 16, 2025, on display in the Tschumi Pavilion, the installation Chromatic Reflections by Tamar Frank. The glass pavilion on the Hereplein is completely covered with chromatic foil, which has the special property of changing color depending on the viewing angle. This creates a spectacle of moving colors for the viewer. In addition, the contours of the glass construction are made extra visible with the help of light lines. When it is dark, endless reflections within the pavilion become visible. Together with the reflective movements of the busy Hereplein, this creates a unique, dynamic cadence.
