Course Description: Prof. Arnold Dreyblatt
The City as Archive: Urban Collective Memory and mediale Intervention
How can artists respond to the often violent forces of destruction and reconstruction
of the urban context caused by massive Industrial development, war, urban planning
and commercial interests? What sort of dialog can artists initiate in communication
with local inhabitants, if at all? We will take a critical look at the histories
of artistic intervention in utopian, urban and social realities from the early
Soviet era to „Public Art“ as we develop project proposals.
Student projects shall begin with historical research, collection and documention
in „mapping“ the collective memory „loci“ of the „cityscape“.
Inner and outer urban spaces are brought to serve as temporary reflective sites
for local inhabitants and visitors through mediale intervention by installation,
performance and exhibition.
Sound Workshop in Bauwollespinnerei St. Ingbert
Students plan and realize installations with „long strings“ and other
sound producing objects in the large hall of the former „Bauwollespinnerei“
in St. Ingbert and develop performance strategies which consider the acoustic
properties of resonant spaces.
This project seminar was coordinated within the framework of other initiatives
from the HbK Saar which focused on the decaying city-center of Völklingen.
