Berlin, Germany

Transitions – Drawing and Space

This drawing workshop will explore transition spaces (not only) of urban Berlin and experiment with drawing in an open and interpretive manner. The emphasis will be put on practical artistic work in combination with critical discourses.

During the introduction, we will exchange various ideas on transit spaces and drawing process. Transitions between lines and space, inside and outside, between here and there, in the actual urban world and imagination where interspace, movements, traces, borders, and its exceedances matter. We will then in mutual exchange choose the way we want to deal with the subject and which places to work with.



Starting with the Berlin University of the Arts itself, we will explore the city and the urban space. We will begin our exploration in the neighborhood and expand it day by day in our search for spaces of transition.

The working phases will be combined with studio visits of Berlin-based artists and/or exhibitions.
