Thing Frankfurt

Followup of Gartners member Annette Gloser. Annette pioneered the east harbour area of Frankfurt, giving it a "radical chic" for new ventures like the Ostklub (1996) and other party activities. The Galerie Fruchtig extended and enlarged the Gartners concept and featured nearly everything from performance, music, full scale installation, poetry readings to Korean cooking sessions.
