TOWARD EVENING BRECHT FOUND ME
IN THE GARDEN READING CAPITAL
2008
A reading group at 5th Berlin Biennale, Kunst-Werke,
Berlin, Germany
Co-organizer of a reading group of Das Kapital, in collaboration with The Production Unit during the 5th Berlin Biennial for contemporary art.
For several years, the geographer David Harvey has offered a seminar on Marx’s Capital at the graduate center in New York. These lectures have now been documented by a group of anthropologists in order to be made available to the public. With Harvey’s lectures as a starting point, the Production Unit used the framework of the 5th Berlin Biennial for contemporary art to launch a reading group of Capital in Berlin. Our hope was to generate a broad discussion on issues of capital in relation to a critical practice today, as well as to generate the possibility for at new collective to be formed. Philipp Kleinmichel, PhD candidate at the philosophy department at University of Arts and Design Karlsruhe/ZKM, were the discussion leader for the reading group that held meetings every Monday for 14 weeks during the summer at the Montgomery Gallery in Berlin.
