Founded in 1969, the neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) is one of the most active and largest art associations in Germany. The grassroots democratic structure enables direct influence on exhibitions, interventions, research projects, event series and publications. Members develop and supervise projects in interdisciplinary groups from idea to realisation. The programme is decided by the members, who discuss and select it annually in a collective process. The nGbK has established itself as an innovative centre for contemporary art, influencing generations of curators, artists and cultural professionals. Its exhibition concepts are considered ground-breaking, and it deals with socio-politically relevant issues such as racism, nationalism and urban policy. The examination of (post)migrant, (post)colonialist and gender issues is another focus. Art is understood as a form of action that has an impact on social processes. The active members shape the programme with great personal commitment and carry on the founders’ original idea of a new society. The nGbK is funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
