One of J. Beuys most rephrased terms was: "Art = capital". You may exchange art by creativity and thus widen its overall meaning, honor the new and sometimes strange.

Especially in times as conform and regulated as today art and creativity have to recapture the gaps. Starting early in education most things are palatable and we – our children – are trained losing the capability of creative thinking by being comparable throughout life. Furthermore making us forget that these occasions are the driving force behind our soul, society, personal satisfaction and even economy. It may also describe the artful approach a company sets for its own work processes – effecting all areas of togetherness in its territory.

Within our Project capital@art.international an approach is highlighted, creating a 100,000 square feet art Off Space within the ruins of a former automobile company in the middle of the financial center of Germany close to the ECB. The overwhelming “old” capital breeds the seed in times of Dotcom enterprises using this physical gap to build a shape for art in all its aspects. The relation between art and capital in everyday life are presented, to be felt, including divers genres of art. This unavoidable conflict and fruitful dialog is nowhere better documented since a long history than in Frankfurt itself, the intermingling exceeds the patron part by far. As ever so today the subcultural controversial / limits and borders of what is art and its beginning, long before so called.
