Artists Daniela Brahm and Les Schliesser’s ExRotaprint project began from their common interest in the heritage site Rotaprint, designed by Klaus Kirsten. They have since investigated the otherwise little-known Berlin firm Kirsten & Nather and rediscovered its exceptional post-war architecture. Their new publication points to the ExRotaprint economic model, which combines work, sociality, and art to produce non-profit added value, benefiting cultural workers.
Other guests are Heinz Nather, Gundula Lang, Frank Seehausen, Thomas Steigenberger.
