CHANGES (English edition)

Changes features a collection of key texts and ideas by artists, intellectuals and curators who have rethought and redefined the way a cultural institution should work. Alongside these documents, five essays establish guidelines for describing the institution's experimental and vastly innovative conceptual approach over the last ten years: the new meaning of format (as distinct from artistic work), the issue of sustainability in cultural institutions, identity politics, immersion and digital culture. A reader on the positioning of a pioneering German cultural institution that invites us to take a look at what has shaped the profile of its innovative programme. With texts and contributions by Frédérique Aït-Touati, Ed Atkins, Sivan Ben Yishai, Jens Bisky, Emanuele Coccia, Brian Eno, Naika Foroutan, Dorothea von Hantelmann, Donna Haraway, Susanne Kennedy, William Kentridge, Signa Köstler, Bruno Latour, Robert Maharajh, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Thomas Oberender, David OReilly, Diana Palm, Philippe Parreno, Nancy Pettinicchio, Alex Ross, Stephanie Rosenthal, Rebecca Saunders, Frank Schirrmacher, Stephan Schwingeler, Tino Sehgal, Markus Selg, Gabriele Stötzer, Lucien Strauch.
