The moulded stone system of the artists K.-H. Adler and Friedrich Kracht shaped the open space design of the GDR. From 12 basic forms, diverse, geometric and pictorially ornamental designs emerged that still characterise our cityscape today.
In this workshop, we will immerse ourselves in the meaning and visibility of this varied formal language. We invite you to experiment and rethink with geometric shapes and bold colours - and to experience GDR art from a fresh perspective.
We will use paper cubes and 3D plaster moulds to test spatial variations and combine them into imaginative structures.
With Janina Kracht (Freie Akademie Kunst + Bau e.V.) and Franziska Schmidt (cultural mediator, Stadtmuseum Dresden)
