Drawing, painting, mixed media

Exhibition in lecture theatre building A14 27.10. - 22.11.18 In the course "Commenting on current events" (Sose 18), the students developed artistic works on current events, whereby the choice of media was left up to them.

Aline Wernette paints scenes from slaughterhouses that take a critical stance on factory farming in an arrangement with a pig sculpture. Jannis Moritz and Max Redleff take up various daily political events and develop cartoons on them. In front of them, an oversized baby made of plaster and papier-mâché lies on a plinth playing with its mobile phone, a sculpture by Moritz Müller. Alessa Brachmann takes us into the world of techno music with an installation. It commemorates the late techno DJ Tim Bergling.

Linda Ewert's collages are ironic commentaries on the image of women in film and fashion, while Anna Roters freely recreates the Lewinsky-Clinton affair with two plasticine figures.

Other works deal with the difficult political situation in some countries. Constanza Hermann, for example, paints pictures of the feminist human rights activist who was murdered in Brazil this year. Hosna Habib draws attention to the precarious situation of women in Afghanistan in her installation and the Syrian war becomes the subject of Yara Beitar's painterly works. Three small objects by Celia Knippers, on the other hand, draw attention to the interactions between violence and counter-violence.
