„-räumen“

The project is an ongoing cooperation between the Braunschweig University of Art (Nasan Tur class) and the Master's programme in Spatial Strategies at the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin. After students from the HBK Braunschweig exhibited at the Kunsthalle an Hamburger Platz in Weißensee last semester, a selection of students from the MA Spatial Strategies programme will be taking part in the HBK Braunschweig OpenStudios this semester.

‘There are many spaces. They overlap, vibrate with each other and are accessible in very different ways. The exhibition ‘-räumen’ combines the active creation and editing of spaces with entering/surrounding, participating in and observing given spaces. We find ourselves in the midst of negotiating, approaching, fragmenting, turning away, collecting, reversing, connecting, opening, moving, experiencing, remembering...’

‘On the necessity of a postmodern logic of the mirror’

Lecture by Dr Swantje Martach

The mirror was previously regarded as an instrument of reflection: it should reflect the self as authentically as possible. But does this logic still do justice to the mirror today, in an age of AI (Mirror App), metaverse avatars and virtual mirrors? Or do they not already function performatively in the sense of diffraction (according to Karen Barad)?

Dr Swantje Martach completed her doctorate in philosophy on ‘A Neo-Materialist Ontology of Dress’ at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the University of the Arts London. As a post-doc at the Institute of Aesthetics at the University of Preschau (Slovakia), she researched unseen beauties. Since March 2024 she has been working at the Academy of Fashion & Design in Wiesbaden. She currently edits the issue ‘Pictorial Practices of Dressing’ of the magazine IMAGE, and co-edits the book projects Atlas of Data Bodies and Deartification. On 23 January 2025 at 5 pm, she will speak about the mirror image in postmodernism in the lecture hall of the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin. The lecture is open to all interested parties.

Music Theatre Workshop „Falstaff“

18 January 2025 at 7 pm and
19 January at 5 pm
both in the Studio Hall of the Hanns Eisler School of Music at Charlottenstraße 55.

In the second music theatre workshop of the winter semester, stage and costume design students from the weißensee school of art and design berlin will develop interpretations of Verdi's operatic comedy ‘Falstaff’ together with directing and singing students from the Hanns Eisler School of Music. The libretto of Giuseppe Verdi's opera is based on William Shakespeare's comedy ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’. Deception and disguise are central elements of the plot when the women make fools of the chronically lustful and financially strapped title character.

Ringvorlesung „seɘ – ander(e)s sehen“

In the lecture series ‘seɘ - ander(e)s sehen’, newly appointed professors present their work and research.

Prof. Dr. Judith Dobler, Visiting Professor for Performative Design Research in the Department of Theory and History
‘Records of a design researcher’
Wed., 11.12.2024, 17:00, auditorium of the weißensee academy of art berlin

Judith Dobler's research interest lies in the reciprocal transfer of current design processes and scientific working methods as they occur in studios and laboratories. In particular, she focusses on contemporary media and communication practices in scientific research. In the lecture, she presents an assemblage of methods from historical discourse analysis, visual and sensory anthropology as well as drawing research, with which she connects to theoretical and applied discourses. The resulting recordings complement her research as an artistic-experimental form of knowledge.
Judith Marlen Dobler is a designer and researcher and has been a visiting professor in the Department of Theory and History at the weißensee academy of art berlin and a member of the ‘Matters of Activity’ cluster of excellence since the winter semester. Her research interests include collaborative drawing as a medium of communication, design as experiential knowledge and design methods in post-disciplinary research. She has multiple qualifications as a carpenter, communication designer, design theorist and a PhD in media studies. As a member of several design research organisations (dgtf, DRS, cumulus), she is committed to academic equality, research ethics and inclusive design education.

Prof. Pauline Doutreluingne, Visiting Professor in the Department of Spatial Strategies
‘Parasitic swamplands as a spatial strategy’

Wed, 8.1.2025 17:00, auditorium of the weißensee academy of art berlin

How can we learn from more-than-human forms of existence and coexistence and explore swamps and parasites as forms of creation in art?
Normally we understand parasitic relationships as a binary distinction between two separate entities: Host and Parasite. How can we expand our conceptions and create artworks inspired by broader, non-binary, ecological and communal contexts in which host-parasite relationships survive and thrive? Parasitic Wetlands offers the opportunity to discuss themes of welcome and hospitality, symbiosis and mutualism, queer entanglements and adaptability, collective perspectives and looking at spatial strategies from a different perspective.
Prof. Pauline Doutreluingne heads the Master's programme in Spatial Strategies at the weißensee school of art and design berlin together with Prof. Bonaventure Ndikung. She also works as a curator and filmmaker and has been the artistic director of the Kunstverein Arnsberg since 2022. The exhibitions she has curated include ‘SWAMPING’, 2024-2025, (Kunstverein Arnsberg), ‘Speaking to Ancestors’, 2022-2023, (Spittelmarkt, Silent Green, Zwingli Kirche, Transmediale Studio, Grosse & Kleine Wasserspeicher Berlin), ‘Terrestrial Assemblage’, 2021, (Floating University Berlin), ‘A Handful of Dust’, 2020, (Ehrenhalle Lilienthalstraße Berlin), and ‘The Conundrum of Imagination’, 2017, (Leopold Museum, Vienna). Her films (in collaboration with the artist Anne Duk Hee Jordan) have been shown worldwide, most recently: ZKM Karlsruhe, Transmediale Linz, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Goethe Institut Stockholm and Goethe Institut Luanda.

Prof. Carolin Losch, Visiting Professor in the Department of Stage and Costume Design
‘See for yourself! Trends in contemporary theatre’
Wed., 15.1.2025 17:00, auditorium of the weißensee academy of art berlin

A return to material from ancient Greece can currently be observed on German-speaking stages. Is the Oedipus myth, for example, suitable for explaining the blindness of modern societies in the face of darkening future scenarios? What is the status quo of tragedy today? And how can different life experiences in the internationalisation of theatre be captured in shared stories?
Carolin Losch is a visiting professor in the Department of Stage and Costume Design at the weißensee academy of art berlin. She studied Theatre Studies, German and Romance Studies at the Free University of Berlin. She has worked as a dramaturge at the Schauspielhaus Bochum, the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, the Lucerne Theatre, the Nationaltheater Mannheim and the Staatstheater Stuttgart.

How can artists and designers intervene in sexist structures? What tools and techniques do they develop for this?

With this exhibition, we want to analyse and reflect on unequal gender relations and body politics in art, design and theory and move them to the centre of the university. We are showing 22 works by art and design students from the weißensee school of art berlin. Recurring themes are the negotiation of body (images) and social norms. An important approach is auto-ethnographic work - a self-exploration that takes one's own experiences as its starting point. Positions from all disciplines and in different media are represented - painting, print, textile, video, comic, sculpture.

December is the annual #4GenderStudies action day - with the exhibition, we emphasise the importance of artistic and creative knowledge production on questions of desire, gender, identity, sexuality and body images. At the same time, we show that gender studies theory is important for contemporary art and design.
