In the context of the exhibition and lecture series "Crosskick", initiated by the Working Group of German Arts Societies (ADKV), students from the postgraduate study program CCC "Critical Curatorial Cybermedia" of the Geneva University of Art and Design were invited by the Halle für Kunst e.V. in Lüneburg to work together with local students of Applied Cultural Sciences of Lüneburg University. Given both art departments' institution-critical teaching tradition it seemed appropriate to put the concept of institutional criticism on the agenda once more. Reflecting on their own conditions of production, the students decided to investigate the ongoing reforms of the educational system and the Bologna process, which led to questions of the economisation of universities and how the access to knowledge has and will change.

»CROSSKICK – Critiques Croisées« included an exhibition at Halle für Kunst eV (18 January – 4 March 2007), a workshop, diverse events and this publication addressed critical thinking in the frame of art practices.

In this comprehensive monograph on the artist Jeanne Faust, Astrid Wege, Bettina Steinbrügge, and Hannes Loichinger reflect on the cultural context of her work and present glimpses into her working method. An illustrated film chronology brings together most of the filmic work for the first time. Designed by Christoph Keller in close collaboration with the artist, this comprehensive monograph is a key to Faust’s complex and challenging work.

The publication is part of the series of artists’ projects edited by Christoph Keller.

How can a political or social movement create so many positive changes, while simultaneously developing negative connotations? Such is the central paradox of feminism for the editors of this book. The dwindling interest of students to continue an academic career after their studies has been called "cooling out" by Burton Clark. The collaborative exhibition project took this term to describe the disinterest of young women toward ideas and forms of feminism, resulting from a lack of palpable aims on the one hand, and the acceptance of existing structures on the other. The exhibition "Cooling Out" examined through the works of contemporary female and male artists the influences of the media, education, and existing social structures on the constitution of a gender identity. Presenting the complexity of influences on the constitution of a gender and social identity, and raising awareness of the potential problems, the publication further pursues the questions raised by the exhibitions, gathering texts by the curators and international authors such as Katy Deepwell, Sonja Eismann, Annie Fletcher, Andrea Geyer, Toril Moi, and Vera Tollmann.

The book "The Need to Document" attempts to make out the backgrounds leading to the turn towards documentation, as well as the thematic focuses and concerns associated with this new documentary stance. The interests of these documentary working methods in art remain reflectively close to the inherent laws of all known documentary channels, but additionally assert their own special features and logic.
