s.t.r.u.k.t.u.r. is a critical examination of the underlying principles of
structures in art, culture and communication. the Gallery acts as an interrelated space,
connected like a network node with the local community and the global network. each
artist creates work based on process and exchange with the general public, by using
the internet, cell phones or through dialogue in the Gallery, creating hybrid authorship
of the artwork.
Participating artists were
jonah brucker-cohen with "public desktop", by
using an application that is dynamically updated, the desktop image transforms into a
global comment-board. theorists, critics and artists from around the globe are invited
to write comments straight to the desktop in the gallery.

create a Think Tank in the gallery, visioning the future of art practice in the year 2030.

discussions in the galery, and online, as well as workshops
