Organisation und Struktur der Außenkommandos und Außenlager des Konzentrationslagers Dachau (Herausgeber: Stephan, Annegret; 2009. Möbius, Sascha) was focused in the concentration camp system opened up to civil society at 140 locations in southern Germany around Dachau. For the first time, the study deals with the development and dimensions of the overall complex of the Dachau external commandos and external camps, as well as their relationship to the main camp. The focus is on the power structures and options for action of the leading actors and the living conditions of prisoners in everyday work and camp life. The analysis reveals the variety of forms of the Dachau fieldworks and satellite camps and enables a differentiation of the parameters of individual and collective survival. She focuses in her current position at Kulturreferaton educational strategies for historical and collective memory preservation and communication.

Zur Ausstellung:
In seiner künstlerischen Praxis beschäftigt sich Nicolás Combarro mit der Beziehung zwischen Architektur und historischem Gedächtnis. Im Rahmen seiner Resideny in München und in einer von Yara Sonseca Mas kuratierten Ausstellung präsentiert er zum ersten Mal seine jüngsten Arbeiten zur Architektur, die während der Franco-Diktatur in Spanien errichtet oder für repressive Zwecke wiederverwendet wurde. Combarro leistet darin ein künstlerisches Angebot zur Reflexion einer in Teilen noch immer unaufgearbeiteten jüngeren europäischen Geschichte.
Die Ausstellung ist Teil eines Arbeitsprozesses, den Combarro in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Künstler*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen entwickelt. Seine künstlerischen Arbeiten stellt er dazu in Dialog mit einer Filmarbeit von Miguel Ángel Delgado und realisiert Teile der Installation mit den Studierenden Carmen Arias, Katharina Predehl, Essi Pellikka, Sandra Bejarano und Pierre-Yves Delannoy der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. Eine Reihe von Gesprächen, die in Kooperation mit dem NS-Dokuzentrum und dem Architekturmuseum der TU München organisiert und von der Spanischen Botschaft in Deutschland unterstützt werden, vertiefen die in der Ausstellung angelegten Spuren.
In Kooperation mit ARTIST IN RESIDENCE MUNICH - VILLA WALDBERTA und Instituto Cervantes München
