untitled (playground)

This action/performance took place in front of the university foyer at Leipzig University. A platform was covered with white paper and surrounded by seating furniture. Every day for a week there were several lectures, discussions and debates. Scientists and artists were invited to talk about the connection between their field and the other using concrete examples or to perform. The speakers left keywords, sketches and links on the platform, which were expanded, supplemented or continued during and after the sessions.

The resulting links can be a formal expression of a complex accumulation of knowledge in a random form, or a metaphor for our intellectual nomadism, the daily, public and private reorganization of knowledge and interpretation of the world. Collisions between different disciplines, points of view, opinions and ideas were intended, the desire for discourse and border violations, encounters, even in private areas, were desired.

An action for the KUNSTKOMMUNIKATION project at Leipzig University. In cooperation with Kathrin Franke and Matthias Schumann.
