Kooperative für Darstellungspolitik is a studio for exhibition design that conceives of exhibitions as discursive spaces whose design supports social negotiation processes. It was founded in Berlin in 2008 by Jesko Fezer, Anita Kaspar, and Andreas Müller to conduct practical research into questions of the public representation of political and cultural concerns. Fezer, Kaspar, and Müller are former co-editors of the journal “An Architektur” and teach experimental design, urban planning, and exhibition design at various universities. Together, they design exhibitions for institutions including the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Casco, Albertinum, Moderna Museet, documenta 14, SESC Pompeia, the Neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Bergen Kunsthall, SAVVY Contemporary, the Goethe-Institut, and the Venice Biennale.
