Sich Mit Sammlungen Anlegen: Gemeinsame Dinge Und Alternative Archive [German]

The book investigates the subject of collecting from a critical perspective that queries and expands on the existing ideas of museums and archives. The approach starts from voices that criticize the absence of items and associations in collections; it then progresses to the discussion of various new collecting strategies.

The point is to take collecting seriously against a trend towards media impact-oriented exhibitions and an "economization" of collections: in order to think differently and afford it a long-term place with a view to democratization, facilitation, relationality, and immateriality.

In addition to theoretical texts and artistic contributions, the publication comprises spotlight-type discussions: statements from experts who curate and create collections - and who critically engage with them.
