Hamburg, September 2012



EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.V. is an initiative by artists interested in the aim to research contemporary art and culture and to impart it to an interested public. In partikular the society is concerned about automobility and tries to analyse its phenomenons.

In 2004 the FOUR-STROKE ENGINE in the version of its inventor, Nikolaus August Otto, was the year long topic. The year long project in 2005 brought up the term of  PARADISE in relation to the automobil, in 2006 DRIVING and STEERING in relation to personal and material resources in the morphogenetical field. In 2007 the point was the SHINE, in 2008 BRAKING, in 2009 SHARED SPACE, 2010 HYBRID, 2011 CARS DO NOT TAKE STAIRS, 2012 TO SHIFT and TO BE IN CHARGE

The EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.v. would like to continue this work also in 2013 by putting all exhibitions and performances under one subject. Several exhibitions and performances respectively are planned, complemented by a theme-symposium.




Conzept 2013: Swaths

One cannot cook, buy or braid swaths. Swaths are cut. Where? Through the woods, through areas that appear chaotic  or through the jungle of rules, laws and regulations.
In the desert there are no swaths, a six-legged beetle does not need swaths.
What can be interesting about swaths? Attempt of a definition.

The term 'swath' comes from forestry and means a tree-free strip in the forest (
through cut, gap, interruption of growth).
The swath is distinctly longer than wide by which it is distinguished from a clearing. The swath can be or natural origin or created artificially.
