This drawing workshop will explore spaces of transition in urban Berlin and will experiment with drawing in an open interpretive manner. The emphasis will be on practical artistic work paired with critical discourse.
In an introductory event we will exchange our various ideas on transit spaces and drawing process. Transitions between inside and outside, between here and there, in the actual urban world and mental space - where interspace, movements, traces, boarders and its exceedances can matter.
We will then in mutual exchange agree on the way we want to deal with the subject and what places to work with.
From our starting point at the University of the Arts in Berlin we explore the city, explore the urban space. We will begin in the neighborhood and expand the circle day by day in our search for spaces of transition.
The working periods will be combined with studio visits of Berlin based artists and/or exhibition visits.
This course is suitable for people with artistic backgrounds e.g. in Fine Arts, Architecture, Design, Visual Communication or even Dance and for people who are generally interested in experimenting with different drawing techniques.
