4×4 — Raum für Neues

“In a time when we are exploring new paths, it becomes apparent how performing arts invigorate our spirit and enrich our view of the world. With 'Raum für Neues,' we open a door to imagination – right in the middle of the city, accessible to everyone, as the vibrant heart of culture.”

Marika Ostrowska-Geiger and Florian Geiger, AMP Dance Company

The AMP Dance Company and the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) have collaboratively developed the project "4x4 – Raum für Neues" to establish a permanent, semi-mobile stage in downtown Frankfurt. This platform is always open to artists and the public, facilitating a wide range of cultural activities from dance to music. It will be accessible via an easy-to-use online booking tool.

This innovative stage aims to serve as a symbol of cultural vitality, enhancing the quality of life in urban spaces and promoting cultural diversity through accessible offerings. Future expansions of the project to other public spaces are already planned, further enriching the city's cultural landscape.

The technical execution of the stage prioritizes safety and functionality, including slip-resistant surfaces and an innovative booking system via QR codes, which facilitates spontaneous artistic activities. The associated website serves as a central platform for events, which can be posted by artists and shared publicly.

"4x4 – Raum für Neues" is considered a pioneering project for strengthening urban culture, enriching daily city life, and ushering in a new era of cultural participation and artistic expression in Frankfurt.
