History of The Ideas
ZEGG as a project arose out of the ideas developed by Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels. His book “Fear in Capitalism” had made Dieter Duhm one of the leading thinkers in the “1968” movement. During the 70s he gained inspiration from many projects, including the Aktionsanalytische Organisation (AAO) set up by the Viennese artist Otto Muehl. Dieter Duhm and Aike Blechschmidt jointly drew up the design for a “Center for Experimental Culture Design” (ZEGG). In 1978, Dieter Duhm founded the “Bauhütte” project in southern Germany. He himself stated that in the following year he distanced himself from the AAO because he rejected Otto Muehl’s authoritarian style of leadership. In 1991 the community moved to Belzig and founded ZEGG there. Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels themselves never actually lived in ZEGG. They moved to Portugal and in 1995 set up their own project, called Tamera.
