2016

It always feels quite special when an institution catches the zeitgeist of a moment. Project spaces have a lot more freedom in this sense, and they can truly, sincerely, reflect a moment or a movement as it is happening. They are essential to a critically active arts scene.

Facebook is no longer used as an announcement tool. Do young people still flock to Berlin?
