Collective Spatial Practices Werkstatt-Konferenz

In response to the question of how spaces can be collectively designed and produced on the basis of shared practice, the "Exhibition Design and Scenography" department is initiating a position assessment in the form of a transdisciplinary workshop conference. In collaboration with the five international collectives - Karrabing Film Collective/Elizabeth Povinelli; Making Futures; Numen for Use; Collectif Paranthèse, and Turbo Pascal - a series of workshops, lectures and discussions in various formats will take place in the atrium of the HfG and on the Open Campus in front of the university. The invited collectives are active in the contexts of visual arts, film, architecture, performance, scenography and design.

The four workshops over the three days of the conference will focus on practice-orientated approaches to collaborative action scenarios, resulting in spatial works in the form of temporary architecture, installations and performative interventions. "Collective Spatial Practices" draws no clear boundaries between lecture, Q&A, break, building, walking, eating and discussion; the format is orientated towards affective and processual knowledge transfer. Experimental-horizontal spatial practices will be trialled that focus on egalitarian participation. Action and reflection on spaces condense in a dynamic process.

Als ein performativer Schauplatz für künstlerisch-diskursives Zusammensein, ereignet sich die Konferenz an der Schwelle zwischen Wahrnehmung, Praxis und Spekulation. Diskutiert werden Modelle raumgestalterischer Arbeit, die es ermöglichen Themenkomplexe wie prekäre Arbeitsbedingungen, Folgen kolonialer Ausgrenzung, Solidarität und Nachhaltigkeit in ihren Vielstimmigkeiten, Paradoxien und Dringlichkeiten offen zu legen.
