Dieser Reiseführer durch die Welt der Fellow Travellers bietet spielerisch einen Zugang zum Ausstellungskonzept. Fellow Travellers zeigt Projekte, bei denen Kunst als Prozess der Veränderung des Alltäglichen verstanden wird. Alle Projekte wurden interlokal, also vor Ort mit den dort lebenden Menschen, entwickelt. Denn nur so kommt die Kunst aus ihrer traditionellen Repräsentation heraus in ein echtes Zukunftshandeln. Dabei hilft die Individualisierung des technologischen Fortschritts. Digitale Medien sind längst weltweit lokal verbreitet und zugänglich. Dieses Buch ist der erste Band einer Reihe von Publikationen, die zu unserem Ausstellungsprojekt Fellow Travellers (2024–26) erscheinen wird. Jeder Band wird sich einem besonderen Thema widmen, das unser Ausstellungsformat widerspiegelt. Die Inhalte der einzelnen Bände sollen informieren, alte Denkmuster infrage stellen und auch zum Handeln ermutigen. Dieser erste Band der Serie ist eine Einführung in den ersten Teil von Fellow Travellers, der seit Ende September 2024 im ZKM zu sehen ist. Ein einleitender Essay erläutert die Hintergründe und Intentionen der Ausstellung, ein umfangreicher Werkteil stellt die unterschiedlichen Sektionen und Projekte vor. Das „Fellow Travellers ABC“ erklärt spielerisch die Begriffe, die uns für diese Ausstellungsreihe wichtig sind, und skizziert Verbindungen unseres Denkens, die wir gerne mit Ihnen teilen möchten. Das ABC ist ein Werkzeug zum Verständnis unseres kuratorischen Ansatzes. handliches Formatgroßzügig bebildertkompakte InformationPublikationsreihe

This travel guide through the world of the Fellow Travellers offers a playful approach to the exhibition concept. Fellow Travellers shows projects in which art is understood as a process of changing the everyday. All projects were developed interlocally, i. e. on site with the people living there. This is the only way for art to emerge from its traditional representation into genuine future action. The individualization of technological progress helps here. Digital media have long been locally distributed and accessible worldwide. The book is the first in a series of publications that will accompany our Fellow Travellers exhibition project throughout its duration (2024–26). Each volume will be dedicated to a specific theme that reflects our exhibition format. The content of each volume is intended to inform, to inspire, to question old thought patterns, and to encourage action. This first volume of the series is an introduction to the first part of Fellow Travellers, which has been on show at the ZKM since September 2024. An introductory essay explains the intention and focus of the exhibition, while an extensive work section presents its various segments and projects. The “Fellow Travellers ABC” introduces you in a playful way to the terms that are relevant to us for this project and outlines connections in our thinking that we would like to share with you. The ABC is a tool for understanding our curatorial approach. practical formatgenerously illustratedcompact informationpublication series
