Partner:The exhibition projects of the Kommunale Galerie Nord are realised as a cooperative management model between the Kunstverein Tiergarten e.V. and the Department of Art, Culture and History in the Mitte district office. With the kind support of the district development fund of the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
Making art, storing art, exhibiting art and viewing art are always also administrative acts. The often precarious life and work administration of freelance artists and curators includes the acquisition of funding and project documentation, the maintenance of collections and personnel support, visitor "management" and the maintenance of technical exhibition infrastructure. The exhibition series Artministration by the Office for Curatorial Research explores the fields of work of artists and curators with a view to private, professional and public administrative practices and processes as well as the associated forms of knowledge.
To kick off the Artministration series, visitors are invited to the new spaces of the Office for Curatorial Research to submit thematic proposals for an Open Call exhibition. Following the publication of the Open Call, the artistic applications received will be juried in a participatory process together with the visitors and finally presented as part of an exhibition in the Office for Curatorial Research. The office team will offer curatorial advice during office hours.
The results of the exhibition further broaden the thematic range of administrative acts in the field of art and culture and set priorities for the upcoming editions of the series Artministration in other administrative architectures.
