Kunstverein Tiergarten 2026 hosted by rk – Gallery for Contemporary Art
Archives collect, organize, and preserve records of the past. Every decision about what is preserved also determines what will be passed on to the future and under what conditions history can be remembered, recounted, and interpreted in the future. Archives are thus both repositories of the past and infrastructures of possible futures.
