Forming or shaping something also includes thinking processes. That is why dialogue, discussion, questioning and investigation is part of our activies in the class.
Alongside the studio practice we read, cook and share thoughts and questions about how our world works and what works in art and what doesn't. We look for and try to understand our sources. Where does material come from? What is a work of art and what is it part of? Where are the slight gaps between work / thing / piece / object / commodity? What are the natural and unnatural processes forming them? we as humans are part of the environmental forces shaping the planet, right? But is humankind's Earth-sculpting phenomena natural or unnatural? Nature, literature, migration and environment among others are themes we discuss and ask ourselves about. We investigate, experiment, think and listen. We create.
Our working language in the class is german and english.
