Content

The seminar invites you to draw and write: draw yourself and write yourself. Students visit places in the immediate vicinity, with a particular interest in places characterised by extreme tensions. The Ruhr area with the A 40 motorway, the north of Dortmund, the Rheinoldikirche or the Zollern colliery offer ideal conditions for this. High culture and precarious spaces slide into each other and offer harsh contrasts to the viewer. In this cooperation, the completely different approach from the two disciplines of spatial planning and art grants a further new perspective on the Ruhr region.

The joint exhibition in the Dortmunder U will open on 14 October 2014 and can be viewed there from 15.10.2014 to 09.11.2014.
