Framework 6 assembles different national and urban case studies and theorizes from different angles of Europe how the paradigm of creativity contributes to the instrumental use of creativity and what kind of impact it has on the arts and culture at large.

Topics related to the general theme of the issue have been dealt also, for example, by René Block and Marius Babias (Berlin), Chuck Dyke (Philadelphia), Hannele Koivunen (Helsinki), Branimir Stojanovi? (Pri_tina), Kirsi Peltomäki (Corvallis, Oregon), Bisi Silva (Lagos), Frans-Josef Petterson (Stockholm) and Ivet ?urlin (Zagreb).

European Kunsthalle

Models for Tomorrow: Cologne
The European Kunsthalle’s first exhibition

2 March to 28 April 2007
Cologne, Germany
http://www.kunsthalle.eu

Models for Tomorrow: Cologne, the European Kunsthalle’s first exhibition, will be presented from 2 March to 28 April 2007. Twenty-one artists will show their designs for a new exhibition hall at both extraordinary and ordinary cultural sites in downtown Cologne. The sketches, planes, and models produced especially for this exhibition by international artists deal with two themes: the architecture for the new exhibition space and concepts for its possible use. Artists’ pragmatic approaches are shown alongside works with utopian potential.

During the phase of its foundation, the European Kunsthalle does not have its own exhibition space. For Models for Tomorrow: Cologne, the institution will use the urban space with its range of publicly accessible sites. For the exhibition, a ring-shaped parcours has been set up in downtown Cologne that invites the art audience to walk along its path. The exhibition venues offer various spatial concepts with varying opening times, represent commercial or public interests, and are highly popular or exist on the city’s periphery. They show that answers to the question regarding the future profile of the European Kunsthalle might already be there in one of the city’s resources: its spaces. moving toward the end of this two-year founding stage, the European Kunsthalle will use this exhibition to direct special attention to its specific location and starting point.

Artists: Vito Acconci, Michael Beutler, Bik van der Pol, Andreas Fogarasi, Luca Frei, Liam Gillick, Tue Greenfort, Karl Holmqvist, International Festival, Erik van Lieshout, An Te Liu, Alex Morrison, Olaf Nicolai, Tobias Rehberger, Pia Rønicke, Silke Schatz, Sean Snyder, Superflex, Lawrence Weiner, Axel John Wieder & Jesko Fezer und Haegue Yang.

Examplary exhibition sites: Subway Station Dom / Hbf, Hilton Cologne, Cologne Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Archive of the Cologne archbishopric, Vic Coctailbar, Private fitness studio Michael Janson, Walther Koenig bookstore, Neumarkt-Galerie mall, Aral gas station, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, St. Kolumba, Deutsche Bank SB-Banking Center

Curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen, Vanessa Joan Mueller, Julia Hoener
Spatial concept by Nikolaus Hirsch, Phil Misselwitz, Markus Miessen, Matthias Goerlich

The exhibition is accompanied by a 176-page, fully illustrated catalogue.
