“I want”

Andrea Geyer’s project Manifest actively acknowledges and embraces the idea that a museum is made of many people: from visitors and staff to artists, that make and remake the museum every single day. Questioning existing hierarchies within museum culture, the work invites visitors to not only contemplate, but reimagine one’s own needs and desires in relation to institutions like the Gropius Bau. How would you like to see yourself, your body, your views, ideas and experiences as you move within this institution? What are experiences that can only happen within the context of a museum? What do you need from a museum today?
