Aesthetic Transformation: Inspiration across Disciplinary Boundaries – Part 2

This workshop 2 operates as a continuation of the introductory workshop on Aesthetic Transformations and provides participants with more studio time and the opportunity of an in-depth inquiry into their own creative practice. The participation in workshop 1 is prerequisite to participate in this second advanced workshop. It is also open for all those who participated in former Aesthetic Transformations classes of the Summer School.

While the first workshop focused on cross-disciplinary, idea-generating processes and the production of multiple works, here we will concentrate on one specific work (or work of teams) of the transformation process. Each one of you will intensify the artistic process by elaborating on one particular outcome from the first workshop. This intensive week will provide you with extra studio time and, also, with the opportunity for expanded discussion within your peer group and with a guest critic (Berlin artist/curator/educator). The artistic quality of the individual work and its potency of impacting the collective ensemble will be inquired and discussed. The artistic outcome will be presented in a Berlin artist-run independent exhibition space at the end of the week.
