{"id":3,"count":11,"description":"Some of the projects I am involved in are more \"public\" than others, or are directly concerned with the production of the public sphere. First and foremost is the program of art commissioned by citizens called Neue Auftraggeber. This program, for which I have been co-responsible in Germany since 2007 and which has so far produced around two dozen art projects in public spaces, is part of a European network of sister programs that together have produced 500 public projects to date. As founder and director of the non-profit organization Gesellschaft der Neuen Auftraggeber, I have a more cultural-political role and a mandate to publicly represent civic interests. At the same time, I help raise the money so that sometimes fewer, sometimes more, sometimes many people can be active. In addition, there are other projects in and for public space that I have organized or participated in. My first major project in Leipzig in 1998, the symposium on intercontextual artistic competence, left its mark on me. The socio-political approach of that time has remained a program for me ever since.
