Berlin, Germany

Public Intervention with Sound

This public intervention workshop offers an opportunity for artistic practices by emphasizing on sound. We will intervene in public space with a focus on specificity of Berlin Central Station where we will exhibit the works at the end of the workshop.

The targeted place for our intervention will be Berlin Central Station, where we will exhibit the created works at the end of the workshop.

Berlin Central Station is a busy intersection of everyday life routine and tourist attraction, a conglomerate of private and public transportation, a blend of different social and political circles and bears witness of its own past and present. We will explore this pulsating crossroads above- and underground, for each participant to find an approach.

In this workshop participants will approach their project with the use of the medium sound and gain a deeper understanding of public space and art therein. You will have the opportunity of getting artistic experience in open-minded surroundings with international participants from various backgrounds.
