Mica Moca

George Bailey 2024

Mica Moca is a Berlin-based collective dedicated to making art possible. But what does art need? Cultural promotion in the sense of providing financial resources is key, but its reach is often overestimated.
Berlin's development over the last quarter of a century has impressively demonstrated how important the category of space is both for the city and for the art created in the city.
The relationship between urban development and cultural production has been a recurring theme in the productions realised under the "Mica Moca" label since the association was founded in 2011. Mica Moca and the artists performing within Mica Moca deal with questions of space across genres, flanked by political and scientific formats. The spectrum of actors and their works presented in this book is correspondingly broad (among others: Jochen Arbeit, Haluk Atalayman, Silvia Baptista, John Eckhardt,  Ulrike Haage, Elisabeth R. Hager, Martina Hefter, Hyoung-Min Kim, Maija Nurmio, Nils Ostendorf, Sophia Pompéry, Rike Scheffler, Minako Seki, Anna Weißenfels, Frank Willens).
