Satellite Berlin – art in collaboration
When I launched SATELLITE BERLIN in 2014, I established my vision of an internationally active, genre and boundary-transcending, mobile cultural hub. Together with Rebeccah Blum, I created a neutral, moveable and flexible platform from which the natural and cultural sciences could merge with the visual arts. This vision inspired collaborative dialog about cultural and social developments and engagement in research, debate and exchange.
