The event Future Institutions is aimed at the new direction of our speculative period. The future happens before the present, time arrives from the future. Together with Chris Dercon and Krist Gruijthuijsen, whose work as directors of the Volksbühne and KW Institute for Contemporary Art will decisively shape Berlin’s cultural life in the years ahead, Armen Avanessian will investigate possible strategies for long-term, sustainable institutional models. How can an institution represent the contemporary when planning procedures demand several months or even years? What is to be prioritized when designing and implementing a vision? How can we draft urgent discourses for the future?
Panel discussion with Chris Dercon and Krist Gruijthuijsen, moderated by Armen Avanessian, in English. In conjunction with the Young Curators Workshop Post-contemporary Art
Ticket 5 € /Tickets are available at the ticket desk at Akademie der Künste, The Feuerle Collection, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, and online here.
