“The Stuttgart group was an open group in a sociological sense. [...]. According to our only manifest statement, the Stuttgart group understood itself in a tradition since the art revolution, endeavoring to keep the borders between the individual art forms open and to combine the production of art with talking about art, ”said Reinhard Döhl in an interview.

Today's network projects rely on the services of the Stuttgart group.
