The title ‚Mitten im Vakuum’ referred to empty spaces that open up in times of social upheaval. A vacuum that absorbs the individual aspiration for change; with the existential quest for impact. A stance that can likewise be found in our present culture and was negotiated within the framework of the exhibition through contemporary artistic positions.

The show took place at Haus der Statistik. The model project is currently being developed by five cooperation partners from both civil society and public administration as a place to work and live.
