Since 1996, Galerie Susanna Kulli has held public events featuring artists in conversation with selected art educators. The series of editions “Im Rahmen der Ausstellung” aims to promote and communicate the artists’ work and help them bring out the theoretical contours of their endeavors. The conversations are recorded, carefully edited, and published in individual booklets. Each booklet contains between twelve and sixteen pages of text and a center section of eight full-page color photographs from the respective exhibition.
Represented artists: John Armleder, Silvie Defraoui, Thomas Hirschhorn, Olivier Mosset, Gerwald Rockenschaub, Shila Khatami, Bertold Stallmach, Gaylen Gerber, Thom Merrick, Peter Z Herzog, among others.
