Mississippi. An Anthropocene River

The Mississippi is a symptom and object of investigation for the radical impact humans inflict on the Earth. Until 2019, actors from the arts, research and civil society along the river course will develop regional articulations to engage with global changes - from the logging and mining zones in the Upper River area to the high technology and petrochemical centers in the Delta; from the industrial agricultural landscapes of the Midwest to the “dead zones” in the Gulf of Mexico; from the historic centers of slayery to poverty and deindustrialization today.
2018–2019

bauhaus imaginista

How did the ideas of the Bauhaus spread? Exhibitions from Kyoto to Moscow to São Paulo reflect its connections with non-European modernity. In 2019, HKW will present the final exhibition.

Neolithic Childhood. Art in a False Present, ca. 1930

Ed. by Anselm Franke and Tom Holert
What if the functionlessness of art comes under suspicion of being instrumentalized by bourgeois capitalism? “Neolithic Childhood” examines how the avant-garde of the 1920s to the 1940s reaffirmed the long-lost functionality not only of art throughout the crisis-ridden present. With contributions by Irene Albers, Carl Einstein, Kerstin Stakemeier among other and numerous reproductions of artworks

Technosphere Magazine: Spheres

In addressing the technosphere, almost all attention is drawn to the techno. But what about the sphere? How do we approach this notion of an Earth-scale envelope embodying the technological condition of our planet? The dossier seeks to circumscribe and visualize the spatial forms and parameters of this technological megastructure.
