It brings together activists and cultural practitioners in an adaptable and non-hierarchal structure with the aim to foster a unique space for discussion and exchange. Archive is engaged in a wide range of activities including publishing and exhibition making. Archive Books produces readers, monographs and artists' books as well as journals focusing on contemporary cultural production and reception. Located in Berlin, Archive Kabinett is both a library/ bookshop showcasing a selected range of printed matters, and simultaneously a space for lectures, screenings and exhibitions.
