Walk & Watch – Go & See

Project Seminar & Excursions
SoSe 2021

Due to the Covid-19 measures for the time being no regular courses and events based on RL-attendance are being offered.
However, there will be digital courses instead – so we decided meanwhile for an alternative format with SURFCLUBS within the framework of our digital LABs. The latter (= a digital LAB) is also the format for our focus seminar held this summer term. While we still hope to be able to revive our collective outside walks in 2021, for the time being we have to keep with digital asynchronous formats and long distance synchronizations…

Further information about the digital courses (and enrollment) is offered via QIS-LSF.

More information on courses, exams etc. at the Institute for Art Education can be found on the institute's homepage; for more general and detailed information see the Corona-Info-pages provided by Goethe-University.

Walking and watching, cruising and seeing, navigating and charting, collecting and sorting, visualizing and communicating: The workshop aims to investigate — in theory as well as in practice — techniques, strategies and modes of exploring the (in)visible city. Tracing, tracking, and leaving marks will be a core activity.

Starting point and basic working format are city walks, hereby consciously drawing back to a cultural practice used by many artists and artist's collectives from early modernity onwards.

For a more detailed general text pls. see the extended project description in German.
