Artistic-research-project by Dorothee Albrecht, Alf Löhr, Andreas Schmid and Moira Zoitl for the Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste (IGBK)
Since many years "Dreams of Art Spaces Collected" investigates visions and developments in exhibiting and mediating contemporary fine arts starting from China, Europe and Australia. The project gathers various perspectives of artists and curators living and working in these regions. The primary focus is not on museums, but rather on project spaces, initiatives run by artists and art associations.
2007
In an exhibition (8 to 15 September 2007, Projektraum Deutscher Künstlerbund, Berlin) video, photographic and textual presentations of the artists' standpoints, evaluations and ideas were shown. In a workshop (15 September 2007), project members discussed diverse models and developed a catalogue of ideas.

In 2015 a new "Dreams of Art Spaces Collected" Reader was published, as well as a DVD collection "Starting from India". It combines eleven contributions on project spaces, initiatives, and networks by authors from Africa, the Middle East, India, China, Eastern Europe, and Germany – from experts who call these places home.
All DVDs and the Reader can be ordered by email at the IGBK office.
