2 weeks agoIn bid to diversify KW Institute in Berlin, artist Sung Tieu sells work to fund new board member
Tieu's work consists of a contract engraved onto four A4-sized mirrors. It harshly criticises KW's board structure, which charges a €5,000 yearly fee from each member. The fee is a key revenue stream for the institute, already under pressure as Berlin cuts arts funding, but also hampers diversity in the management of the city's cultural institutions, in which "legacies of exclusion and economic gatekeeping" persist.
