Our next lecture programme starts in October 2024. The events on the topic ‘Form Gangs! Collective work and political alliances in art’ are published now. All lectures will take place online as usual and are free of charge.

It is not only since the last Documenta that the collective in art has experienced a renaissance, at least in the public perception. In fact, artists have been coming together in groups for centuries to realise common ideas, share solidarity and care and fight for the space that art deserves. In this year’s lectures, we will present associations, collectives and other organisations and provide the audience with tools to found their own communities and engage collectively. From the question of which legal forms collectives are best to choose today, to the theory and history of collective art creation, to the presentation of existing associations that are committed to fair working conditions and against marginalisation in the art world. In addition to these focal points, we will again be focussing on art in architecture and providing information on the possibilities of international cooperation.
