KW orchestrated the one-week exhibition “37 Rooms,” in which 37 curators displayed exhibitions in 37 vacant spaces in or near KW’s building, staged to coincide with the ninth edition of the Documenta exhibition in Kassel, Germany. Shows in the 1990s featured works by artists like Bruce Nauman, Matthew Barney and a young Sarah Sze. His first fund-raising drive at KW went toward 60 tons of coal for heating, he said. In 1995, the foundation that awards funds from Berlin’s state lottery bought the complex and made it available to KW for cultural use. Today, the majority of funding comes from Berlin’s local government.
