With a total of over 200 works by 100 artists and groups from different times and contexts, there are plenty of discoveries to be made in the collection exhibition "The Way We Are". Thematic areas extending over 2,500 square meters formulate a multiplicity of different statements from the 1960s to the present day.

The sound installation Glass Track (2012) by Scottish artist Susan Philipsz is a prime example of her work with sound, space, and memory. Philipsz is known for her mostly site-specific sound installations, which feature her own untrained voice, everyday objects as instruments, or unusual sounds from classical instruments. She uses sound to redefine spaces and evoke emotional responses.

From 1970 to 2005, Edition S Press was a publishing house specializing in experimental literature, Concrete Poetry, Beat Poetry, and poetry performance. Using reel-to-reel tapes, audio cassettes, video cassettes, and media packages, it developed new forms of publishing acoustic art. Over 80 editions bring together works by artists from Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Many of these artworks were created during the Cold War and demonstrate how poetry and sound art became forms of expression for resistance and artistic freedom.
