Tacheles

 

At its peak, the Kunsthaus Tacheles housed a theater, bar, cultural space, studios and almost 100 artists from over 30 different countries under one roof. Operating 24/7, everyone from art critics, tourists and artists passed through the place, there was no censorship, no middleman and artists sold work directly from their studios.
