Space Production in Berlin in the Early 1990s], Berlin: b_books, 2020, 448 pp. Along the spaces, groups, discourses, media and fields of practice that the heterogeneous constellation [[Botschaft e.V.]] produced in the six years of its existence from 1990 to 1996, the book draws a differentiated picture of the production of space in the period of the early 1990s in Berlin. The book is the documentation of a process, an analysis, but also a manifesto of a temporary production of space in the context of art and the city. Based on PhD thesis (HGB Leipzig, 2018).

Monument to Transformation[edit]
The question we put to ourselves in the autumn of 2006 was a relatively simple one: What has happened in the twenty years since the fall of the "Iron Curtain" to us, to the artistic imagination, to society? How are we to relate today to the twenty-year period of transformation that we were, and still are, part of? [2]

Former West[edit]
If the “former East” emerged in the aftermath of the Cold War in 1989, its western geo-political counterpart—blinded by the (seemingly default) victory of neoliberal capitalism—has widely failed to recognize the impact of these massive changes upon itself. The so-called West has continued to think and act, symbolically and realistically, as “first” among what were supposed to have become equal if heterogeneous provinces of one world. One wonders precisely why then, when there is a “former East,” there is no “former West”? [10]
- Former West, 2008-2016. "A transnational research, education, publishing, and exhibition project in the field of contemporary art and theory. The project grapples with the repercussions of the political, cultural, and economic events of 1989 for the contemporary condition. It does so in the search for ways of formerizing the persistently hegemonic conjuncture that is “the West”; to be able instead to simply refer to “the west,” and with it, suggest the possibility of producing new constellations, another world, other worldings." Initiated by Maria Hlavajova (BAK), Charles Esche (Van Abbemuseum) and Katrin Rhomberg. Chronicle. Publication. Editorial meetings. Congresses.

"The Cold War was a contest not between two ideological blocs but between two variants of Western modernity. It is this conceptual “Westcentrism” that a “formering” of the West seeks to undo. The contributions revisit contemporary debates through the lens of a “former West.” They rethink conceptions of time and space dominating the legacy of the 1989–1990 revolutions in the former East, and critique historical periodization of the contemporary. The contributors map the political economy and social relations of the contemporary, consider the implications of algorithmic cultures and the posthuman condition, and discuss notions of solidarity — the difficulty in constructing a new “we” despite migration, the refugee crisis, and the global class recomposition."

autonomie + funktionalisierung der kunst[edit]
In contrast to the previous West German art centre of Cologne, Berlin in the 1990s offered available primeval wastelands, empty spaces and undefined interstices that were an essential moment in the development of artistic productions and practices. Of formative and exemplary importance were the slowly contouring urban cultural policies, their discourse and participation practices, as well as the economic and political concepts that promoted the arts, art projects and artists in various forms and used them, among other things, for the representation of the German capital.

- Autonomie und Funktionalisierung, research project, Institute for History and Theory of Design at the University of the Arts (UdK), Berlin, 2017-2019. A cultural-historical-aesthetic analysis of the concepts of art in the visual and performative arts in Berlin from the 1990s until today. Focuses on four strands of artistic practice: political art, art as social work, participatory art, and art as a form of knowledge/artistic research. Initiated by Judith Siegmund. Events. Conference.

The book is the documentation of a process, an analysis, but also a manifesto of a temporary production of space in the context of art and the city. Based on PhD thesis (HGB Leipzig, 2018). TOC.

The early 1990s – the time of transition from socialism to capitalism in the territory of the former Yugoslavia – saw some fundamental shifts in the way artists’ work was perceived, as well as structural changes of spaces of art. And more than that: in the post-socialist world, artists’ production time changed as well. [22]

We Have Never Been Closer[edit]
Can strange things in white cubes, black boxes or public spaces still be transgressive at all? Should artists and cultural workers find fulfilment in the very possibility to create and organise, and in the process somehow 'make a living'? Are we really in a situation where the endless catching up with the West in our region has turned into a cultural demarcation against it, but with no alternatives in sight?

In the period starting in 1978 and ending in the new millennium, we witness the production in the fields of art, culture, technology and the social that suddenly and forever changed the entire space, and Ljubljana in particular, from an insignificant village to an urban place with its eyes open to the future. Everything that was built during these decades has left its mark: Urbanity, the protection of human rights, the coming out of LGBTQI+ communities, the anti-militarist worldview and the conception of technology as open source, and last but not least, the vision of anti-colonial and anti-capitalist struggles.

She links the rise of 1990s Mexico City art in the global market to the period’s consolidation of Mexico–US border art as a genre. She then interrupts this transnational art history with a sustained analysis of chilanga and Chicana artists’ remapping of the figure of Mexico as Woman." Publisher. Review: Emmelhainz (ARTMargins).

Over the past twenty years, an abundance of art forms have emerged that use aesthetics to affect social dynamics. These works are often produced by collectives or come out of a community context; they emphasize participation, dialogue, and action, and appear in situations ranging from theater to activism to urban planning to visual art to health care. Engaged with the texture of living, these art works often blur the line between art and life. [183]
