In our collaborations with different schools (and types of schools), we have always been guided by the question of how artistic impulses can have a lasting effect in the context of education. This has led us to different formats and interventions. All of this formats address and work on school as a entire system and introduce a continuous presence of artists.
Creativity in interspaces
What can art do in schools? For one year we were as a Team of artists continously present in a school. We researched, made contact and developed actions, interventions, communication processes, objects, rituals, spaces and performances. The publication about the project contains documentary material and contributions from fourteen different authors on the subject of learning atmospheres, cultural development in schools and artistic processes.
