The European Kunsthalle announces its first publication “Under Construction. On Institutional Practice”

European Kunsthalle
The publication “Under Construction“ documents an event series of the
same name produced by the European Kunsthalle, a (still) virtual art
exhibition space in Cologne. Essays, lectures, discussions, and images
focus on current issues such as the politics of urban marketing and the
different ways of financing culture, as well as contemporary art
movements and their presentation in various spaces. Looking beyond the
boundaries of Cologne, these questions examine possible paths of action
institutions might take today. The book unites different academic and
curatorial discourses, and conveys the spectrum of fundamental issues
that must be considered when establishing a new contemporary art
institution.
