How can public space be defined today – and who has access to it? With public preposition, Mischa Kuball examines these questions directly in urban space and transfers them to the exhibition space of the Baukunstarchiv NRW. The starting point is the observation that public space is not a static condition, but is formed by relationships between places, people and movements. Kuball makes these networks of relationships visible by highlighting historical, political and everyday contexts and rendering them legible in new ways – in three interventions in Dortmund's urban space, in an exhibition designed as an ongoing process, and in an in-depth symposium.
