== Exhibitions about ECM ==
In fall 2012, the Munich museum [[Haus der Kunst]] opened an exhibition about the work of the label called ''ECM – A Cultural Archaeology''. It pointed out the early jazz-focused years until the mid-1980s, before the ''New Series'' was initiated. In close relation with Eicher and ECM, the exhibition was created by art curator [[Okwui Enwezor]] and Markus Müller. To complement the historically oriented content of the exhibition, it was accompanied with a concert series of current artists of the label, which included [[François Couturier]], [[Enrico Rava]], [[Meredith Monk]], [[András Schiff]], [[Evan Parker]], [[Gidon Kremer]] or [[Tomasz Stańko]].<ref>{{cite web|title=ECM Records|url=http://ecmrecords.com/News/Diary/388_ECM_Exhibition_in_Munich.php|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140718033023/http://ecmrecords.com/News/Diary/388_ECM_Exhibition_in_Munich.php|archive-date=2014-07-18|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=ECM Records}}</ref> Some of these artists have a long relationship with the label—even if their 'home' is ''ECM'' or ''New Series''.<ref>{{cite web|date=2011-11-23|title=Haus der Kunst - Detail|url=http://www.hausderkunst.de/index.php?id=132&no_cache=1&L=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=1624|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=Hausderkunst.de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=2011-11-23|title=Haus der Kunst - Detail|url=http://www.hausderkunst.de/index.php?id=132&no_cache=1&L=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=3008|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=Hausderkunst.de}}</ref> 

Additionally, Eicher curated a film series of eleven selected movies, which relate to the label. While some of its filmmakers have been related to ECM, like [[Theo Angelopoulos]] or [[Jean-Luc Godard]], others gave inspiration to the label, like [[Ingmar Bergman]] or [[Andrei Tarkovsky]], and others used music by ECM.<ref>{{cite web|date=2011-11-23|title=Haus der Kunst - Detail|url=http://www.hausderkunst.de/index.php?id=132&no_cache=1&L=1&no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=3415|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=Hausderkunst.de}}</ref> The physical catalogue of the exhibition was published by [[Prestel Verlag]] in German and English.<ref>{{cite web|title=ECM Records|url=http://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/Books/1500021_ECM_Eine_Kulturelle_Archaeologie.php|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140718021225/http://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/Books/1500021_ECM_Eine_Kulturelle_Archaeologie.php|archive-date=2014-07-18|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=ECM Records}}</ref> Another extended exhibition was displayed in Seoul, Korea, from September until November 2013. Under the [[Gertrude Stein]] quote ''Think of your Ears as Eyes'', the exhibition took a wider view on the label's history than the one in Munich. Again, it was accompanied by a concert series, including [[Kim Kashkashian]], András Schiff, [[Myung-whun Chung]], [[Heinz Holliger]], [[Norma Winstone]], [[Ralph Towner]] and [[Yeahwon Shin]].<ref>{{cite web|title=ECM Records|url=http://ecmrecords.com/News/Diary/442_ECM_Exhibition_Seoul.php|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140718170628/http://ecmrecords.com/News/Diary/442_ECM_Exhibition_Seoul.php|archive-date=2014-07-18|access-date=2015-11-27|publisher=ECM Records}}</ref>
