Neue Auftraggeber/ New Patrons – Citizen-Commissioned Art (2007–today)

The New Patrons are, alongside KOW, my second major project of the last almost 20 years. At its core, it is a cultural-political project “from below,” or rather from civil society, that neither stems from artistic autonomy nor from party or government politics, but from the needs and ideas of citizens. I have played a key role in establishing this program in Germany.
