"Necessity is the mother of invention", which means art, creativity and catastrophe share the same origin, and improvisation also plays an important role. But what mechanisms are at play? How can we turn them into artistic practices in times of crises?
Necessity is the mother of invention: whether a tennis sock contributes to save the lives of three astronauts or a volleyball helps a stranded person escape from an uninhabited island - almost every situation can offer a multitude of alternative courses of action that have merely gone undetected. It is precisely the forced detour in a crisis, that can lead to the possibility of discovering new options.
Dr.-Ing. Margit Schild
artists of all diciplines, age: 18+
This course focuses on these radical interdisciplinary aspects of art, improvisation and creativity. We are asking: What mechanisms are at play? How can we turn them into artistic strategies? What effect do they have on my own artistic practice?
In a world increasingly marked by unpredictable crises, these mechanisms can demonstrate that artistic practices have a key role to play in developing the knowledge and skills that can devise and advance ideas and preparations for the upheavals that may lie ahead. With a phase of practical work and a phase of theoretical reflection and delivery, group projects, individual tasks, critiques, discussions, research and studio sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to work through problems and ideas while producing and researching art.
