Agentur für neue Utopien

/ Performance + Installation / zeitraumexit @ T6/18 / 

We are the AGENTUR FÜR NEUE UTOPIEN (agency for new utopias). As an interdisciplinary team of artistic researchers, the agency can be found, wherever utopian perceptions of architecture are in danger of demolition, to rescue remains of stonebuilt visions for further generations. In the presence of the audience, finds will be dissected to breed new utopia from the ruins of the past. The recovery site is a well known brutalistic monument of the 70ies and a Mannheim landmark: the Collini Center.
