encyclopedia of stolen ideas
Who owns ideas? Can ideas be owned – just like material things? Obviously, the notion of "ownership" is quite problematic in this context.
The "encyclopedia of stolen ideas" is an online platform to reflect upon these issues.
panem@circenses
"panem@circenses" (or in short: p@c) deals with the operating system(s) of art in the society. it is conceived as an online infobase and learning platform. the basic structure delivers a set of terms stemming from the roman circus (as a site created for the amusement of the plebs), each of which is set in parallel to one part of the system of contemporary art.

haben wollen | wanna have
"wanna have" ("haben wollen") is a concept developed for the artist Lukas Einsele. It is based on a barter deal: motivated by the desire to own it, a photograph is being written about (the text format to do so is open, be it rather descriptive or poetic). A copy of the text is handed over to the artist, the author of the text gets a copy print of the photo.
Wie man den Kindern die Kunst erklärt | Help your child to understand art
"Wie man den Kindern die Kunst erklärt" is a small brochure. As its (sub-)title, "helfen sie ihrem kind, die kunst zu verstehen" ("Help your child to understand art"), might already suggest, the text itself is conceived as a kind of advice for parents who are themselves artists, critics, curators, collectors or otherwise involved in the field of arts. Maybe it is even useful for those planning to visit art exhibitions together with their children, or find themselves by accident in a situtation confronted with a work of art, while their children start to ask "mom… dad, can you tell me…".
