THE OFFICE CURATORIAL COLLECTIVE THEOFFICE.LI

THE OFFICE seeks to create, facilitate and produce projects of contemporary culture and intends to detect where, how and through whom, art happens today.

Operating from Berlin, THE OFFICE does not possess a permanent base in the city, nor does it limit its activities to a particular location. Rather, it occupies different spaces throughout Berlin and other cities for each project - whether for a day or for sustained duration.

THE OFFICE intervenes into the cities' cultural infrastructures to connect and expand existing configurations and to provide a space for discursive activities in constantly changing environments.

THE OFFICE explores a model of collective practice and experimentation for artists, curators, writers and other cultural producers. It is a network for receiving and developing projects, inventing and testing formats. THE OFFICE insists on autonomy while emphasizing collaboration on temporary operations into the arts.

In addition, THE OFFICE functions as a communication device for the projects developed by each of its members.
