LENTOS KUNSTMUSEUM LINZ
BAYWATCH – Episode 1: Be Water My Friend
Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz 2018
Looking down from a baywatch tower, we surveyed and analyzed the areas threatened by water throughout the year. The results are grandiose ideas and projects. To carry this into the outside world, we have created a landscape over the course of a week with possibilities and consequences of the floods under the free space of the LENTOS. The fictitious scenery becomes the reflection of a global reality. The water comes, the lifeguards get into action.
In the scene of a flood, islands and landscapes got built and open up a social space for publicity. On sandbags there is room for gathering, exchanging and hanging out. This is the basis for being and for the concrete discourse on the basis of installations as well as performative interventions, workshops, concerts and a symposium.
As part of the DonauArt and in cooperation with the OÖ Kulturquartier and the Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, students of raum & designstrategien present their project to the public.

Design LAB #2- Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin 2019
Less is Less – More is More
Our everyday life is shaped by the habits and routines with which we interact with the humans, objects, spaces and concepts that surround us. „How to do something“ becomes a habit and implicit gesture. At the same time the objects and spaces, as well as our understanding of our surroundings, influence the way we act and interact. The department of space&designs STRATEGIES from the Art University in Linz takes a closer look at these quotidian routines and will investigate how the everyday is produced: How can we challenge habits by applying the idea of „less is less – more is more“? For this purpose the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin will be occupied by the students of space&designs STRATEGIES. In a series of workshops the museum will be transformed into a research space filled with objects detached from everyday life.
