SITE was founded in 1998 by Ralf Brög, Sven Lütgen and Petra Rinck. SITE is an artist led project that extends artists practice to the aspects of presentation, distribution, publication and marketing. We see the realm of the artists studio practice and the realm of the art market as not being seperated from each other, but as being a continuous field of activity. Consequently we consider it as essential being actively involved in not just using but also shaping and manipulating these wider structures of the art world.
SITE is an experimental crossmedia platform concerned with producing, exhibiting and distributing art and art related stuff . SITE is an ideal conceptual arena for art. It is idealistic, romantic, utopian, concrete and real at once. It may adopt any form, format or structure to impact a general public or a radical exclusive audience. It includes potentially any topics, styles or strategies aslong as the overall manouvre relates to art in particular. SITE is an artist enterprise, which pushes selforganisation, cooperation and individual interference.

First published in 1999. It’s ambition is to butt in the world of media, publication, interpretation and contextualization. Its collaborative, interdisciplinary nature which goes beyond individual artists studio practice is from great value to the publishers. SITEmagazine is not a review magazine. It is rather an exhibition in printed format. SITEmagazine compiles contributions which should be approached as artworks. Each issue adds to the ongoing series of publications. No issue is ever out of date. Since SITEmagazine 11 we are cooperating with guest artists/editors to curate an individual issue. For the distribution of the magazines SITE is making use of existing international paths of printed matter distribution to get spreaded out worldwide. But also it is an ongoing topic to be creative about new strategies distributing SITEstuff. |

As our original plan was to initiate a magazine as a gallery space without an address and with exhibitions of unlimited durations, the very first real exhibition took place in 1998 in our editorial office, at Düsseldorf, Birkenstr.47, simply because we liked the idea having friends and colleagues at the place commenting about the not yet published SITE 1 issue. Becoming clear that we liked the idea programming exhibitions on two different formats we opened a distinct gallery space in the same building. The galleries basic curatorial concept was to invite each month an artist do a solo exhibition at our gallery space. The exhibitions programme was explicitely not related to the magazine and we were not influencing or directing the outcome of the shows in what sort ever. Between 1998 and 2001 we organized solo exhibitions at Birkenstraße 47. Beside of the soloshows we organized thematic/conceptual exhibitions, social events like dinner parties and have been invited to curate offSITE projects. End of 2001 the SITE exhibition space shot due to the necessity to reconsider its concept. |

In October 2006 we launched SITEGALERIE as a format parallel to SITEmagazine which allows us to work with not yet established artists, (or artists whos practice has a particular reference to SITE and its motivations), in a much more intense and complex relationship. This includes also the representation of their work on the art market. After having runned a so called ‘non-for profit’ artist run exhibition space for many years, we decided that the format of a commercial gallery offers a more diverse and dynamic potential for our activity. In June 2008 after a serie of eight exhibitions SITEgalerie closed as SITE co-director Petra Rinck decided to open the Petra Rinck Galerie in the same premises. New approaches to be expected in 2010. |
