Institution Building
Artists, curators, architects in the struggle for institutional space. Edited by Nikolaus Hirsch, Philipp Misselwitz, Markus Miessen, Matthias Gorlich.

This book presents a study that conceptualizes, tests, and practically applies the spatial strategy for the European Kunsthalle. The investigation is the result of the activities incorporated into a two-year work practice from 2005 to 2007, an iterative “applied research” informed by resonances between theory and practice.

The developed approach attempts to constructively question ideas of “stability” and “instability” and—in doing so—proposes a specific strategy for the European Kunsthalle that positions it within a local, regional, national and international contemporary discourse.

With contributions by Shumon Basar, Andrea Phillips, and Jan Verwoert.
