K+ Eat Art
Special events for artists and designers Food is more than just nourishment, and not just since Daniel Spoerri's Eat Art. In this series, the art museums invite artists and designers to creatively explore food culture, food as a medium and the future of nutrition. In performances, in a meal as a social event or in other forms, they will cast new perspectives on the topic.

K+ Café at KWM is a place for culture and exchange in Krefeld. The museum café was designed as a total work of art, combining a high quality of stay with contemporary design and fascinating references to the textile history of the city and its art museums. The café fulfills numerous functions as an event location and meeting place formembers of the public with a video lounge, bar area, reading corners, sun terrace and more. A large number of businesses and sponsors from Krefeld were actively involved in the realization of the café.

K + Café im KWM, or simply “K +

Over 400 suggestions were received after our call. We would like to thank all senders for their creative ideas!

The jury finally combined two suggestions for a unique name: The letter “K” together with “Café Plus” resulted in the formula: K +. The plus, graphically simply as a sign “+”, emphasizes the open concept as a characteristic of the place that goes beyond a simple café: it is an exhibition in itself, the great flexibility of the room design and the variety of future users.

It is named after suggestions by three women living Krefeld: Barbara Beier, Susanne Till and Sylvia Weißenborn. Barbara Beier created the name “Café Plus”. Susanne Till suggested "K3: Kunst-Kaffee-Krefeld". Sylvia Weißenborn found the title “K im KWM”; for them the "K" stands for the words "Krefeld, art, culture, conference, creativity and Kaffee / café".

The director of the Kunstmuseen Krefeld Katia Baudin and the designer Robert Stadler present the design for the new museum café.
