PRO QMPRO QM
1999年にオープンした「PRO QM(プロ・キューエム)」は、「都市」そしてそれに関連する政治、経済批評、建築、デザインなど幅広いジャンルにフォーカスした書店だ。店内では定期的に展覧会PRO QM was founded in 1999 in Berlin as a thematic bookstore that focuses on the concept of “city” and its links to politics, pop, economic critique, architecture, design, art and related theories. The project is interdisciplinary and, alongside the bookstore, consists of regular events in the store and contributions to exhibitions and conferences. Pro qm runs two permanent book displays at Frankfurter Kunstverein as well as Kunsthaus Dresden.
The site PRO QM evolved from a theoretical debate over urban politics and a discussion of alternative spaces for cultural production, as a social space, to facilitate the engagement with such questions. In the store the theoretical interests intersect with a case of practice, of how these theoretical concerns become public. In this sense the project understands itself as institutional and programmatic. Concerned with the documentation and mediation of artistic and urban-political processes, it is also about how these processes are represented and dealt with in media such as books, magazines, records, CDs, videos etc. The functionality of the bookstore is above all as a certain type of negotiation, which at the same time secures the economy of the store. It provides an engagement that links theories with their distribution, including scientific work and artistic projects.

書店の機能というものを一種の「交渉」であると捉え、それがこの店の経済を支えており、論理的なアプローチで自分たちの科学的な活動やアートプロジェクトを結びつける活動を行っている。
