Über das Spiel hinaus. Freizeiträume der Zukunft (Beyond Play. Leisure Spaces of the Future)
Informelle Treffen junger europäischer Künstler (Informal Meeting of Young European Artists)
In 1972, the Informelle Treffen junger europäischer Künstler (Informal Meeting of Young European Artists) took place at Kunstverein München under the heading Über das Spiel hinaus. Freizeiträume der Zukunft (Beyond Play. Leisure Spaces of the Future). The aim was to take a critical look at the Olympic Games. In the course of the meeting, a publication of the same name was issued. “The intention to come up with models for sports and the Olympic Games of the future and to identify some community-building potentials of sport and art was abandoned as soon as it became evident through the discussions that all questions led back to social problems of the present, and as the contradictions between the decadence, ideologization, and realization of the Olympic event came more and more to the fore.”
