Profession: Curator

 

Alle Städte stehen vor den strukturellen Herausforderungen einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft. Seit 2019 werden Gebrauchtmaterialien aus dem Kulturbetrieb durch MFA gerettet, gelagert und für maximal die Hälfte des Neupreises weitervermittelt, Ausstellungen zur besseren Materialweiternutzung abgebaut und neue Ausstellungsarchitekturen und viele weitere Nutzungen aus dem Materialfundus entwickelt. Mit der MFA App können Materialien digitalisiert, für User und Kooperationspartner zugänglich und innovative Gestaltungsprozesse in CAD Software nutzbar gemacht werden.

In 2020-2021, Ben directed the BOX project-space at the HfG in Offenbach, and in 2018, he co-curated the graduate show of the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee. An Editor-at-Large at PASSE-AVANT, Ben’s writings have been featured in various catalogues, publications, and magazines, including Arts of the Working Class, Ocula, and Frieze.
