Beyond Matter, Within Space

Exhibition spaces are physical places of knowledge production
and exchange. Their spatial properties play an important
role in contextualizing information. Virtual stagings of
exhibitions should therefore retain these properties. The
Beyond Matter research project (2019–23) aims to unravel
the intertwining of physical and virtual structures and their
impact on spatial aspects in art production, curating, and
art education, and thus to identify ways to preserve cultural
heritage in the digital age.

This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the
diverse research activities, exhibition and book projects,
and symposia that have taken place or emerged in the
course of the international Beyond Matter project at the
various partner institutions.
