Archive Kabinett’s purpose is to create a space where to experiment with formats and concepts related to the field of publishing, to stimulate a challenging collaboration between artists, writers and curators while exploring their roles.
Studio Miessen is a collaborative agency for spatial strategy and cultural analysis, accommodating change through research, criticism, writing, teaching and design. As motors and productive elements of change, these means build the fundamental basis for alternative policies in urban centres. Studio Miessen design space, services and strategic framework proposals, research and write on spatial practices and comment on a wide range of cultural phenomena through international publishing, architectural proposals and the vigorous production of ideas. Unique solutions are being delivered through a network of high-profile international practitioners with expertise in architecture, urbanism, contemporary art, curatorial practice, literature, cultural studies and social sciences. Collaborating with institutions, NGOs, local government, and independent practitioners, project teams are assembled on an ad hoc basis delivering a polyphonic team of experts in regards to the issues presented by our clients. The Studio is currently working on projects in Brazil, the US, Europe, and the Middle East, for clients and collaborators such as the European Union’s Institute for Culture, the Government of Slovenia, the European Kunsthalle, the Architectural Association, and several individuals and institutions of various scales.
