ELECTRICITY (LINE 069/FRA)

In a fragmented cultural landscape where artists seek community beyond local settings, ELECTRICITY transmits the creative output of cities through books serialised as LINEs.

Each LINE features 30 practitioners across disciplines from a single city. All answer identical questions about what drives them - focusing not on process or technique, but on the internal pressures, values, and energy animating their practice. This reveals resonances within a living network. LINE (069/FRA) carries the creative charge generated in Frankfurt (+ RheinMain) by practitioners across career stages and layers of the cultural scene. It follows Cape Town (LINE 021/CPT) and precedes future LINEs, positioning Frankfurt as an equal node within a non-hierarchical global system.

This is not cultural documentation; it is infrastructure. By creating conditions for peer-to-peer recognition through shared enquiry across cities, it sparks values-based belonging that transcends geography.

We are connected.

DASH
In a city known for its rich cultural history, Dash is more than a bookstore in Frankfurt - it is a dynamic space that encourages engagement and participation, whether you are a bibliophile, a cultural connoisseur, or simply someone eager to explore the depths of human expression.
