Description

Weimarer dérive – on psychogeography and architecture.

Using subjective and objective knowledge and production tools (e.g. city walks, photography, writing, video, readings, performance, archive, dérive), this module will explore, analyse and describe the urban cityscape of Weimar and question the historical and social awareness given by some chosen architectural spaces. Through artistic answers, it will consider the position the architectural spaces hold now, what narratives they (potentially) contain and how we can speculate on their possible futures.

Course language will be English (except everyone speaks German then it will be in German.. obviously).

German description

Weimarer dérive – Über Psychogeographie und Architektur.

Mittels subjektiver und objektiver Wissens- und Produktions-Tools (z.B. Stadtrundgänge, Fotographie, Video, Beschreibungen, dérive, Archive, Objekte) wird dieses Modul die Stadtlandschaft Weimars erkunden, beschreiben und analysieren, sowie das historische- und soziale Bewusstsein ausgewählter architektonischer Räume hinterfragen. In künstlerischen Antworten werden die heutige Position der Bauten und Räume, die (womöglich) darin enthaltenen Erzählungen, sowie die Art und Weise wie man über deren mögliche nahe Zukunft spekulieren kann, betrachtet.


Kurssprache ist Englisch (es sei denn alle Teilnehmer verstehen und sprechen Deutsch. Dann ist die Kurssprache natürlich Deutsch).
