The Presskuchen tour offers artists the opportunity to develop structures and networks across various cities. It uses the gesture of staging and the structure of the stage itself, highlighting and doubling the staged nature of exhibiting.

The tour travels through the cities of Leipzig, Berlin, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Munich, Graz, and Vienna. – -> – – -> –>
