The Project
Freedom(space) Utopia: New Cultural Spaces for Tomorrow (working title)
As the largest municipal museum network in Saxony, the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – Chemnitz Art Collections – not only serve as a model, but also as an example to follow. They aim to strengthen their role as a regionally rooted, forward-looking museum network. The focus is on building a shared culture of knowledge together with the independent arts scene and other partners – as a response to social polarization, digital upheavals, and the desire for participation beyond traditional exhibition practices.
This involves questioning the usual ways of doing things: how spaces and materials are used, and how responsibility and hierarchies are distributed. In this way, the museum is being reinforced as a socially and democratically engaged place for audiences of tomorrow and beyond.
