With the "Showtime" presentation days and an exhibition of the "Image Sequences" course, students from the Institute of Art and Visual Culture provide insights into their artistic works and project work and invite interested parties to discuss them.
Landscape watercolours, cinematic essays, randomly created structures and collages: these works from the "Image Sequences" project course can be seen in an exhibition in the lecture hall centre until 6 July. The two-semester course run by lecturer Natascha Kaßner enabled students to work artistically, regardless of the subject or medium. This resulted in a wide variety of works: various drawings, object boxes dealing with traditional and modern influences of a people living in northern Scandinavia, colourful paintings inspired by the aesthetics of crocheted doilies from eastern Turkey, as well as posters and graphic novels.
From 28 to 30 June, students will be presenting further artistic works at "Showtime", giving interested parties an insight into seminars and project work. In addition, various courses will open their doors and invite the curious to join in discussions. The event begins on 28 June at 6.30 p.m. in Prinzenpark; from 7 p.m., visitors can wander through the exhibition rooms. Food and music will be provided; the student bodies are organising a clothes swap and a button workshop, among other things.
On the second day of the event, 29 June, Bachelor graduates will present their work during a public symposium. Interested parties can also watch the twelve-minute film "bildfluss" (Building A8, Room 001) from 12.00 noon. The film documents how a student in the course "Bildfolgen" (image sequences) dealt with the quality of random processes in art, so-called aleatoric processes.
At the end of Showtime, on 30 June, it's time to "rearrange": As part of a research workshop, students, lecturers and guest speakers will address the question of what happens when we move around in a room or rearrange it, among other things. In short lectures, so-called reflections in a nutshell, walks around the campus or art talks, the speakers deliberately change perspectives and adopt scientific, artistic or pedagogical points of view. Student works from the "Hollow bodies with a view" exercise complement the programme. As far as possible, the exhibitions will be on display in buildings A8, A9 and A14 after the event until the end of September.
