Site Title: Kunst krematorium Berlin Site Presentation

In the course of (art) history, artist and artistic movements as well as political ideologies have dealt with the museum as a place for conservation.

Sooner or later, every collection encounters problems where space is concerned … To strike a new path and create new space, some people wanted to do away with or annihilate museums (as places for conservation), some destroyed art selectively, while others dealt with art destructively or auto-destructively.

Some have left deep, others only transient tracks in art history. Some failed, and others found solutions to a certain degree. What is interesting is the fact that most of these attacks have nowadays become part of the institutionalized art world. In 1995, the cooperation of an anonymous builder and the group “Psychiatriepatienten” gave birth to the idea for a universal work that was to bring changes on different levels of society.

To create new space inside space, the idea of an “art crematory” was born. This institution enables people to use space more sparingly. By means of transforming the respective art work (so-called SPACE / ING[i]) the art crematory enables the work’s owner to keep the object as their own, if in a shrunk / spatially reduced form.

The art crematory is not a place or object that teaches, practices or presents art, it is the first architectural concept that spatially rationalizes art and dematerializes it up to a certain degree. It is an art object’s last stopover in its original shape. Anyone can use the art crematory, and anyone can take one of their objects to SPACE / ING. The art crematory does not serve any kind of cultural “cleansing”, it is not an “Hygienic Institute” – it is an invention that questions the relation between space and matter anew.

No force is used, no revolution takes place – and yet SPACE / ING constitutes an evolutionary step. It workes according to the individual persons wishes and intellectual maturity. What happens inside the art crematory creates a new awareness for space and environment.
