We welcome Agnieszka Roguski as Artistic Director of M.1 2021/22!

Within the framework of M.1 kuratieren 2021/22, she will realise her programme IN:VISIBILITIES. It focuses on visibilities and invisibilities in times of a digitalised world. Through various formats, the programme deals with forms of representation, poetic narratives and critical potentials of media technologies - and experiences of different public spheres that emerge from them. We are looking forward to the programme and to the collaboration with Agnieszka Roguski!

Written during lockdown, published in the second wave of Corona: The kuratieren-booklet #6 Curating, Care, and Corona by Sascia Bailer is out now! This booklet is many things: a critical questioning, a doubting, a reflecting, sometimes also a plea. But above all it should also enable insight into the 2019/20 curatorial programme on Care at M.1, and invite readers to continue with their own related lines of thought. The text unites five fragments that engage with artistic works and curatorial formats from Sascia Bailer ́s programme, each in the context of societal discourses surrounding care, curating, digitality, alternative economies and the necessity of new social infrastructures.

Over a period of three years (2020-2023), the research project Wasteland? Rural Landscape as Affective Space and Cultural Education as Pedagogy of Localization, based at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, examines the connection between cultural education, feelings of belonging and practices of localisation, starting out from three institutions in rural areas. Media and cultural theorist Fiona Schrading has been investigating the work of the Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung and the events in M.1 since May 2020.
