There is no lack of cultural debates in Germany, and in many cases one would like to know what the nGbK’s opinion is. There are indeed many powerfully eloquent lobbyists concerned with the matter of art and culture. And it is expected from an art society that, when it was founded in the 60's took up the cause of shedding light on “capital’s mechanisms of rule” and “revolutionising the conditions”, to show its presence and participate in the discussions of these themes. The first and foremost means of a progressive art society is, of course, a progressive aesthetics. Yet it may also take part in the public debate. The format 'nGbK lectures' is to intensify the society’s presence in this regard: With public panels and incisive texts from the midst of the art society.
