New Exhibition Catalog Released — Talk with Editor Jan Wenzel on 26 March 2026

The catalog for the current exhibition Robotron: Working Class and Intelligentsia has been published by Spector Booksand is now available at the HMKV Bookshop. The catalog brings together new texts, interviews, and numerous illustrations that explore and contextualize the exhibition’s central themes.

Particular attention is given to the essay by Jan Wenzel (author and publisher at Spector Books), who, as co-curator of the exhibition Robotron: Working Class and Intelligentsia, traces the connections between geopolitics and global markets. His contribution challenges conventional notions that have become entrenched in the narrative of a supposedly “socialist” past and opens up new perspectives on both historical and contemporary contexts.
