a very democratic project it seems every detail was discussed as a group. just of the. today the a.c.c. is a gallery with an international scholarship scheme and the past thirty years the a.c.c. has hosted nearly two hundred fifty exhibitions with over a thousand participating artists. setting up the a.c.c. was a dream for you what are your goals for the future what's still to come. and they are this. if it were up to me things can stay just as they are this is our building we want to stay here and breathe new life into weimar's classical mindset with our contemporary dalliances in artistry and. not believe the time or doesn't exactly live for contemporary art and culture rather it lives from the past and so we are a good counter agent we have been for the last thirty years and we want to continue
