Kunst und Gesellschaft / art and society
A documentary essay.
Contemporary art played an important role in the 50th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Munich. While the major Olympic sporting event 1972 was enriched by the progressive “Spielstraße” cultural festival, in 2022 national and international artists of all genres realized performances, actions, films, concerts, dance, and installations around the Olympic Lake at the invitation of the City of Munich’s cultural department.
This publication offers, for the first time, a visual and textual glimpse into the playful, participatory cultural program of 1972. The central section is a 42-page photo essay featuring Koopmanns photographs from the 2022 art festival.
The second part of the book brings together a diverse range of voices from around the world and looks to the future.
