Current fellows joined students from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (ABK Stuttgart) and other participants in developing artistic projects for the exhibition Currently Available, held at the Projektraum Römerstraße run by Akademie Schloss Solitude, that create space for personal encounters and give visitors the opportunity to actively shape their exhibition experience.

Project participants explore new ways of experiencing artistic work together outside the exhibition space via interactive mediation formats such as audio walks, a whispered reading and a VR installation at various locations. They also cooperate with communities and local Stuttgart-based initiatives. The project opens up temporary spaces of possibility that encourage visitors to expand their range of enquiry beyond a conventional framework, to ask questions, to get involved and to become part of the experimental project.

With the participation of Aderemi Adegbite, Jan Nicola Angermann, Constanze Bahlo, Maaz Bin Bilal, Lukas Beyer, Samuel Collins & Mo Langmuir, Monika Czyżyk, Gideon Horváth, Cheryl Isheja, Baanujah Kanesamoorthy, Sebastian Lorenz, Marcela Majchrzak, Jana Milenkovic, Christian Müller, Neil Luck, Timo Lupoli, Nomadic Kiln Group, Flaviu Rogojan, Nika Rukavina, Veronika Schneider, Karen Schuster, Lea Stephany, Isabel Stoffel, Damon Taleghani, Martina Vacheva, Adrian Weber, Jaśmina Wójcik, Roxenna Zimmer

Concept, artistic supervision and coordination: Jan Nicola Angermann, Gloria Aino Grzywatz, Diana Yasmin Haddad, Annette Hermann

The exhibition project has been developed as continuation of the project »Weiterkommen! – ein Projekt zur Entwicklung eines Leitbildes im Bereich Kunstvermittlung und Kulturelle Bildung an der Akademie Schloss Solitude« which was supported by the Zentrum für Kulturelle Teilhabe Baden-Württemberg.

A project of Akademie Schloss Solitude and Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart in cooperation with Begegnungsraum e.V., Chloroplast Stuttgart e.V., WUNDERKAMMER – NATURALIA / ARTIFICIALIA

Participative installation Meeting Points with Mo Langmuir, Samuel Collins, Marcela Majchrzak, Veronika Schneider and Lukas Beyer

Where: Projektraum Römerstraße

The installation at Projektraum Römerstraße was born of an ongoing collaboration with Begegnungsraum e. V., without an initial pre-formed plan. Instead of thinking about a fractured mediation process divided into three parts, featuring content, mediator and recipient, we would like to sit down together and develop a fulfilling collective language in which everyone is simultaneously mediator and recipient.

Whisper reading How to Build a Steel Drum with Damon Taleghani

Where: Projektraum Römerstraße.

Please register until March 10, 12 pm:
register@akademie-solitude.de

How to Build a Steel Drum is a whispered guide based on the booklet Steel Drums. How to Play Them and Make Them (1956) by left-wing folk singer Pete Seeger, and an educational video entitled Music from Oil Drums, which the latter recorded on 16mm film with Trinidadian steel drum pioneer Kim Loy Wong.

This experiment involves tracing the mutual history of oil, its instruments and ourselves, as well as approaching oil as an object, the car, the steel and the music of these means of production.
