The Coldstore Project,

was founded in early 2007 by Julian Ronnefeldt, Ulrike Hoffmann and Adrian Shephard. The project intends to collaboarte with and function as a platform for artists.The Coldstore Project concentrates on exhibitions, shows and events in disused and abandoned sites and buildings primarily in the urban environment. The first project will take place in “Dem Kühlhaus am Gleisdreick” in Collaboration with Luna Nera, Factory Berlin, Cyberrise and the Unternehmensgruppe ArgoVent.
The Kühlhaus is located in the Gleisdreieck , Kreuzberg, Schöneberg, Tiergarten and was build in 1889 as one of the first 2 coldstorages of Germany modelled on its British counterpart. One of the two buldings was destroyed during the capture of Berlin by the allied forces. Both buildings served as the foodstorage and market for the Berlin public and was owned by the company Linde, now Linde AG till the end of WW2.

Ever since then the building remains more or less unused, apart from occasional usage as a storage space.The entire building , it’s historical and geographical position will be the starting point for the artists work and the final results will be seen during the 3 days in the basement of the building.
