Okk / Raum 29

In the location's words:

"We understand art as a plow to work the socio-political field in the sense of a civil, autonomous society, against reactionary tendencies such as racism, militarism, sexism, dogmas and fascism and all their inhumane forms of expression!" The OKK project group focuses its work on socio-critical culture. Art with cultural-political and socio-political themes and the range of critical modes of expression are to be mobilized and bundled. The aim is to create a network that enables its members to organize and present to the public the exchange and discussion in the political field on a neighborhood, national and meta-national level. The OKK / Raum29 is used as a studio space, experimental and exhibition space and is a platform that offers local and international artists a space for their artistic works within the framework of the expanded concept of art. Exhibitions are presented at regular intervals, showcasing artists and cultural practitioners from a variety of genres. One focus is on the interdisciplinarity of art. The collectives of the various projects work at the interface between art and activism. The platform is intended to be a place of dialogue that organizes new artistic and media approaches to socio-critical culture across disciplines, and at the same time a conference and exhibition venue that enables the public presentation of experimental results. The OKK / Raum 29 has existed since summer 2007 and has been used by international, as well as local artists in a variety of ways. Artists of various genres have performed in the space. Since its foundation, more than 40 exhibitions and cultural events have been organized. This content has been machine translated.
