objekt4000 production studio
By 1991 the USSR closed the doors of the Stolezenhain Nuclear Warhead Storage facility and a military base near the historic town of Juterbog within the Brandenburg district. This Nuclear Warhead Depot served as the front line of the Cold War due to its proximity to Western Europe and the ease with which the Soviet Army could launch nuclear missles at the first sign of escalation.
Thirty-one years later, our team reopened the doors of the soviet-titled OBJEKT 4000 nuclear bunker to welcome artistic dissent and the antithesis of what this space was designed for.
We now invite artists to interact with the space and its history to re-imagine our shared togetherness during the current turbulent times through an intersectional lens and dynamic collaboration.
We are a non-profit community of creatives. In the past two years, a dedicated team has emerged to carefully restore and revive an abandoned bunker through artistic research. Objekt4000 invites a meaningful experience for creatives to explore the past and speculate our shared future inside the walls of a historic and powerful former nuclear bunker.
The history and context of the space has inspired our team to be intentional about curation and management. We’d like to invite people to explore and transform the space into an inviting, meaningful, and exciting venue for a community to take shape. We aim to support upcoming artists by creating a platform for free creation, expression, and knowledge sharing.
The OBJEKT4000 bunker is currently Santiago Burelli’s main production studio and space for artistic experimentation.
The studio is currently open for visit.
