Raimund Stecker

In the new episode of one.voice, Fabian meets a true constant in the German art world: Raimund Stecker.For more than 50 years, Raimund has been working alongside artists; beginning his career as a bookbinder and later becoming a curator, writer, and museum director. In this conversation, he shares his experiences and encounters with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Blinky Palermo, Otto Piene, and Jan Schoonhoven. The episode also focuses on Raimund’s most recent project: a former church in Kuckum, located near the Garzweiler open-cast mine. Here, he has created a new home for several thousand artist books, transforming a forgotten place into a cultural destination and giving the surrounding area a renewed sense of relevance and attraction.To conclude, we take a look into the future of art — exploring where artistic practices, institutions, and the relationship between artists and society might be heading.The conversation is in German.one.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/one_artcollection/
