Museum Abteiberg: The presence of Antimuseum by Susanne Titz

The origin of the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach was Johannes Cladders’ term Antimuseum, dating from 1968. This idea defined the structure of the museum building that he created in collaboration with the Austrian architect Hans Hollein, 1972 - 1982. How does this building work? What was the vision? What is the present tense of it - for visitors, artists, exhibited art?
