Montag Modus started as a pilot program at the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (CHB) in 2015. Between 2016 and 2018 the series was part of the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (CHB), following the institute’s three-year thematic model. In 2016 the theme was ‘chaos/entropy’, which shifted to ‘reform and reorder’ in 2017, which in turn prepared audiences for the final year's theme in 2018, ‘order and utopia’. These subjects acted as a conceptual guideline for the artists and curators. Inspired by the overarching topics, each event presented Hungarian and Berlin-based artists and unfolded through discussions and in-depth consideration of the topics and the building’s spatial qualities.
