Edited by Alexander Schröder with Dominic Eichler and Marianna von Palombini.

Over 190 contemporary artists, designers, curators, and writers appear in this anthology. MD72 was established by Alexander Schröder – known both as a gallerist and a collector. Events there reflected the legacies of context art and post-institutional critique, of Berlin’s cultural conditions after German reunification as broader debates informed by postfeminism, postcolonial thought and queer strategies came to the fore. Along with extensive visual documentation of exhibitions and artworks, the book is also a compendium of eyewitness reviews, essays, exhibition notes, interviews, book extracts, and commentary from a wide range of authors.

Including Jay Chung, Claire Fontaine, Josef Strau, Alain Guiraudie, Bernadette Van-Huy, Helmut Draxler, Henrik Olesen by Thomas Duncan, Heji Shin by Benoît Lamy de la Chapelle, Marcel Proust by Yves-Noël Genod, Merlin Carpenter by Annie Ochmanek, Josephine Graf, Helmut Draxler, Megan Francis Sullivan and Nick Mauss, Dylan Byron and Isabelle Graw, Benjamin Lignel and Anne Dressen, Clément Rodzielski.

Twice a year, The Institute of Social Hypocrisy publishes a fanzine. These publications serve as a tool with a dual purpose. Primarily they are a means to put out developing art projects by a range of invited artists and contributors, throughout the duration of the Institute project.

These fanzines are neither publications for reference, nor books of completed projects. They are a means for artists to put their work in front of new audiences in order to invite input and discussion, thus helping the project to develop. They allow the artist to take a level of control and give a certain independence with regards to the traditional scope of the distribution of their work.
