The publication Under Construction documents an event series of the same name produced by the European Kunsthalle, a (still) virtual art exhibition space in Cologne. Essays, lectures, discussions, and images focus on current issues such as the politics of urban marketing and the different ways of financing culture, as well as contemporary art movements and their presentation in various spaces. Looking beyond the boundaries of Cologne, these questions examine possible paths of action institutions might take today. The book unites different academic and curatorial discourses, and conveys the spectrum of fundamental issues that must be considered when establishing a new contemporary art institution.
