Project
Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany 2021
Urbanität in Bearbeitung is an exhibition reflecting on urban development and urban elements. The exhibition at Kunstverein Ludwigshafen am Rhein hosted the work of 5 artists on the topic of urbanity and TU Berlin student projects from the course Obsolete Typologies. The main exhibition hall is organised around three objects: a tribune, an Hochstraße and a translucent box. The three installations recreate an urban landscape around which the disposition of the art pieces and the students´projects is organised. The intersection of the Hochstraße and the other volumes becomes the meeting point for citizens and visitors of the exhibition to discuss the future urban development of the city of Ludwigshafen, as well as the occasion to propose more critical development of the city.
Wuppertal, Germany 2023
For the Fragile Festival at the Pina Bausch Zentrum in Wuppertal, raumlabor and Raul Walch have created symbiotic structures and garments out of trash. Together with a group of participants, a pavilion was created out of old furniture and discarded wood. Inspired by the way the nature of Wuppertal encroaches on the built environment, the project aims to blur the boundaries between the living, the artificial and the discarded. With the help of the AWG trash company, we have been collecting old furniture, wood and textiles, to give them new life. Gradually, these materials have been transformed into new structures, as well as characters who inhabit this space – all while merging with both each other and the existing environment.
An invitation to young people, artists, architects, makers to participate in the building process!
Siegen, Germany 2022
The Hüttentalstraße (abbrev. HTS) is a city highway that was built in the 1970’s and has had a decisive influence on the surrounding cityscape. Due to its topographical location, the HTS was built on massive, concrete stilts and extends over the entire city area. A large part of Siegen’s population lives in the immediate vicinity of the HTS.
