Oth­er­ing Dis­played:
Racial­ized Space­mak­ing of German Exhibitions

The archi­tec­tural design pro­cess aims to cre­ate new orders and at the same time is, itself, struc­tured by its prac­tical, tech­nical, social, and legal frame­works. The lec­ture series in the 2022/2023 sum­mer and winter semester traces this double relation. Each design ima­gines the future and rep­res­ents an attempt to cre­ate a new spa­tial – and thus always social – order. This pro­ject­ive access to the unknown and unthought places plan­ning con­ven­tions, con­struc­tion stand­ards, legal require­ments and estab­lished archi­tec­tural, urb­an­istic and social ideas in relation to each other rethinks them, and makes them dynamic. The lec­ture series asks how design struc­tures the inter­ac­tion of these dif­fer­ent and het­ero­gen­eous factors and what roles the con­di­tions, norms, and tools of design play.

Its pre­de­cessor insti­tu­tion, the Staats­bau­schule München, is one of the old­est schools of archi­tec­ture in Ger­many. The book is ded­ic­ated to it with essays by Karl R. Kegler, Silke Langenberg, Chris­tian Schuler, Regine Hess, Chris­ti­ane Fülscher, Andreas Putz, Ákos Moraván­szky, and Rein­hold Wink­ler, an inter­view with Peter Lanz, as well as his­tor­ical build­ing plans and pho­to­graphs by Tania Rein­icke, Rainer Viertl­böck and Sebastian Schels.

Many art and cul­tural insti­tu­tions are cur­rently under­go­ing a trans­form­a­tion pro­cess and are sub­ject­ing their col­lec­tions, exhib­i­tion con­cepts and arti­facts to a crit­ical revi­sion. This also con­cerns the reappraisal of their ideational and mater­ial gen­esis, which is determ­ined by the per­spect­ive of the Global West. Linked to this is the task to build up a diverse per­son­nel struc­ture that leads to a greater vari­ety of per­spect­ives and positions.

The debate ini­ti­ated by the board of the Ulmer Ver­ein and the edit­ors of the kritische berichte for the year 2022 would like to con­trib­ute to this neces­sary dis­cus­sion about the rethink­ing of institutions.
