okk/raum29

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 like racism, militarism, sexism, dogmas and fascism and all their inhuman forms of expression!" The OKK/Projektgruppe 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 exchange and discussion in the political field on a neighborhood, national and meta-national level and to present it to the public. 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 will be presented at regular intervals and will feature artists from various genres. The focus will be on the interdisciplinarity of art. The collectives in the various projects work at the interface between art and activism. The platform is intended to be a place of dialogue, which organizes new artistic and media approaches to socio-critical culture across disciplines, and at the same time a conference and exhibition venue, for the publication and presentation of the experimental results. Room 29 has existed since the summer of 2007 and has been used by international artists in a variety of ways. Artists of various genres have occupied the space. Over 40 exhibitions and cultural events have been organized since its inception. This content has been machine translated.
