Based in artistic practices and in
the discourse of contemporary
public processes, the Office of Integrative Art (Berlin) was founded
in 2000. Since then Jörg Amonat and Stefan Krüskemper
have developed proposals and realized projects in ever-changing
teams. They work in the fields of public art, urban space, and
integrative art strategies.
What is public space today and what, in particular, could art
add to
this context? How does economic development change the urban
area and the lives of its inhabitants?
In 2001 the Office received a one-year grant from the Bavarian
Department of Science and Culture for the project »parkTV« situated
in the park in the city center of Dessau. In this project, the
Office created a simulated park inside a shopping mall and made
products one can buy to replicate a park atmosphere at home.
