Annual Report 2022

Engaging with today’s global topics through trans-Atlantic dialogue and exchange

Dear Friends of 1014,

The year 2022 saw unprecedented geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts. True to our mission, we took up several of the global challenges and invited experts and creatives from both sides of the Atlantic to exchange ideas through conversations, performances, workshops, and exhibitions. Throughout the shifts and challenges, we filled 1014 Fifth Avenue with discussions, art, and music, while growing our network and further developing our space for ideas.

Our events contributed to current debates across the globe, with topics ranging from threats to democracy, racism and fascism, media freedom, digitization and privacy, climate change, and more. We held 64 events – with more in-person events than ever before. We also reached new and returning audiences, with over 2,000 guests visiting 1014 Fifth Avenue and about 1,500 guests joining us online.

Across our many events, we built new partnerships with organizations such as the Walter de Gruyter Foundation while reconnecting with previous partners such as the American Council on Germany and Impact Hustlers. We grew our network by hosting or promoting the events of organizations such as Elysium Between Two Continents, German American Partnership Program (GAPP), Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich Studienwerk (ELES), and the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC).

We also took the opportunity to further develop our organization by updating the mission statement to better reflect our work. 1014 received a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar and a 3-star rating from Charity Navigator. In addition, we held our first fundraising event, welcoming our donors to our beautiful garden space at 1014 Fifth Avenue and an onsite tour of the exhibition by Elias Wessel and Natalia Kiës. In total, we generated more than

20,000 USD from private donations for which we are very grateful.

I am delighted to report that the 1014 Fifth Avenue refurbishment project moved to the next stages – and continues to gain momentum every month. David Chipperfield Architects submitted their final drawings and secured the first permits in the approval process.

As we continue to lay the foundation for our future plans, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our audience members, donors, partners, experts and creatives, board members, and team. Together, we navigated the shifts of 2022 and continue to grow our space for ideas.

Warm regards,

Andreas Fibig Chairman and President of the Board

In the heart of New York City, 1014 brings people together from both sides of the Atlantic to creatively engage with today’s global topics.

Vision

Communities around the world are undergoing deep transformations. Priorities, norms, and values are shifting, as disruptions to our political landscape, technological advances, and a changing planet affect the way we live. At this pivotal moment, 1014 offers a trans-Atlantic platform across society, culture, and ideas to explore the many challenges and opportunities of our time. Fostering partnerships, both personal and institutional, 1014 inspires the creativity and imagination we need to collectively shape our future and to contribute to today’s global debates.

History

In 1960, Germany purchased 1014 Fifth Avenue – a beautiful townhouse across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art – from the estate of James W. Gerard, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany until 1917 and a strong believer in the transAtlantic partnership. During the following 50 years, the building served as the Goethe-Institut, and welcomed renowned artists, politicians, and public intellectuals from Germany and the United States such as Hannah Arendt, Willy Brandt, Andy Warhol, and Susan Sontag.

Organization

“1014 Inc.” is an independent U.S. not-for-profit organization “501 (c) (3)” founded in 2017 upon the initiative of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut. A board of directors, with 13 members, oversees its operations. 1014 enjoys initial financial support from the German Parliament.

1014 encourages trans-Atlantic debates on today’s global topics through a variety of formats. The program in 2022 reflects this wide range of subjects, as the organization takes up challenges and opportunities and responds quickly to major incidents – with Russia’s blatant invasion of Ukraine and its repercussions dominating the agenda.

By inviting experts and creatives from both sides of the Atlantic, 1014 continues to establish itself as an important organization for current trans-Atlantic dialogue and exchange. Topics in 2022 include threats to democracy, freedom of the press and wartime reporting, polarization, climate change, racism and fascism, digitization and privacy, and sustainable architecture.

1014 employs a variety of formats including multi-faceted projects, exhibitions, performances, and in-person and virtual trans-Atlantic talks, to name but a few. It also supports partners such as the Institute for Communication and Media Policy (Cologne and Berlin), the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (Essen), and the Humboldt Forum (Berlin) in establishing contacts in New York City to learn from one another’s experiences and jointly address the societal challenges of our time.

1014 is grateful for the generous support of all 2022 co-sponsors, including the Walter de Gruyter Foundation, Stiftung Mercator, Deutsches Haus at NYU, and the University Alliance Ruhr.

Throughout the past year, 1014 has continued to extend its network and outreach by co-hosting events for its partners such as RIAS Berlin Commission, the American Council on Germany, AIA – Center for Architecture, and the German American Partnership Program (GAPP). With a total of 64 events, and by participating in festivals in New York City, 1014 continues to establish itself as an indispensable space for ideas on Manhattan’s Museum Mile.
