The university as a studio: under the motto "Showtime 3", students will be showing their artistic work from 8 to 15 July. At the same time, a student exhibition on serial works in art history will be running.
During the "Showtime 3" presentation week organised by the Institute of Art and Culture, students will exhibit their artworks and provide an insight into current projects during guided tours, tours and short lectures. Interested parties can also take part in lectures, talks and discussions. The presentation week will open on Wednesday, 8 July at 6 p.m. in the Prinzengarten between buildings A8 and A9 on the Haarentor campus. Among other things, the video installation "Wordy Mobility" and "Who Is Who - a mask performance" will be on show.
The exhibitions, which are spread across four university buildings on the Haarentor campus (A2, A8, A9, A14), are aimed at those interested in culture as well as prospective students. The Institute of Material Culture and the Integrated Media Master's programme are also involved in the presentation week.
Over the course of a year, students of art lecturer Natascha Kaßner have analysed serial works of art history. From this, they have derived criteria for their own artistic work and created artworks that can be seen until 16 July in the Hörsaalzentrum on Uhlhornsweg. The resulting artworks take up the serial production processes of sculpture, printing and photography. Other works generate series of drawings or paintings based on the same subject.
The "heads" by Jennifer Backs and Pia Kleinichen, for example, pick up on the serial nature of the sculptural production process. They are moulded from plaster and wax based on clay models. Lilian Petersen examines various printing techniques, her motif is Andy Warhol's "Campbell Soup Can". Martina Brandorf analyses a piece of music and simultaneously makes linear abstract recordings. Kim-Nina Jordan uses internet search engines to research the results of well-known serial works and translates them into abstract wall objects. She also exhibits series of drawings and photographs. Katarzyna Klar models abstract forms from clay and uses them as a starting point for drawings.
