The characteristic formal features are clearly defined: objective structures, creative systems that are complete in themselves, the new role of photography and quotation, as well as a tendency to seriality and minimalizing material. The conditions under which art comes into being are examined, along with temporal and spatial structures, the congruency of theory and practice, the possibility of involving the viewer intellectually and physically, and also the general conditions for presenting and responding to art in institutions. The exhibition features around 80 art works by 21 german and international artists from the 1960s to today.
