Weimar as an urban playground for your sculptural ideasTogether we will take on a fictitious commission: let's say Weimar celebrates the Year of Bauhaus and there is a call for art in public space.We will suggest and agree upon possible locations for the art. We will discuss site-specific and urban conditions, possibilities and fictions. The course will provide a short introduction to the history of art in public spaces, in particular the Bauhaus, as well as to materials (Should the work be sustainable, or should it be temporary?). We will then choose our locations and create our works.With the aid of model-making, we will explore appropriate scale for visualisation, material choice, and realising our designs. At the end of the course, we will present our models.
