NO FUTURE WORK OVER
12 February - 22 March 2014
Participants: NO FUTURE Komplex (currently Mitra Wakil, Stephan Janitzky, Sebastian Stein, Anne Faucheret, Michael Dobrindt) together with a broad range of friends and invited guests (Kerstin Stakemeier, Mattin, Marina Vishmidt, and others)

Thus it seems more than appropriate that we once again put ourselves in situations in which we can re-examine our personal motivations and the formal circumstances of our production and practice; in other words, the conditions in which we think, act, produce, and ultimately live. To this end, we and our guests will attempt to find formal set-ups that help us to grasp this complex with means other than language. Let’s see where this
