Sommersemester 2017, Theorie und Geschichte

connections

The Bauhaus monument in Bernau-Waldfrieden – world famous Trade Union School – provides the starting point to examine the question of universal form, tradition, and heritage. In artistic dialogues, materials, forms, and compositions will be produced, discussed, elaborated, and presented. The architecture of the Bauhaus monument, which is located within walking distance from two shelters and two schools, provides the first common impulse for Connections.

 

Which new forms, colours, and materials of objects fashioned by ourselves will we create within an intercultural dialogue? How do we interrogate the Bauhaus, tradition, and heritage? Handicrafts (glass and textile arts, instrument construction, photography, graphic design) form the basis as a means of expression and communication for us: the participating children, teenagers, their families, students and artists with different social and cultural backgrounds from the emergency shelters in Bernau, the OSZ Barnim and the Barnim Gymnasium – assisted by artists, teachers and researchers from various disciplines: fine art, sculpture, design, glassblowing – and building a new Furnace, music and creating new instruments, education, social sciences, textile and surface design.

 

The project is being researched in the sense of action research – a concept in which research is participating in processes of social change and makes systematic use of participation as means of inquiry.
