# Artistic Mediation

**Artistic Mediation** (referred to in German as *Vermittlungsmedium*) is the conceptual use of a space or tool to facilitate communication between the artwork, the artist, and the viewer.

In the context of the [[garage-cdfi-gallery]], mediation goes beyond simple presentation or "spectacle" (*Schaulust*). Instead, it is intended to:
1. **Give a Voice**: Provide the artist with a platform to communicate their intent and vision.
2. **Provoke Thought**: Encourage the viewer to engage critically with the work.
3. **Bridge Gaps**: Create a structural link between the academic environment of the institute and the general public.
