>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.
