Soft Spaces, Shared Grounds

To conclude the artistic and design research project +dimensions (2021–2025) at weißensee school of art and design berlin, we warmly invite you to a two-week exhibition with an extensive supporting program at the Kunsthalle. The project team – consisting of artistic staff from various disciplines – will present results from their own research and teaching, including numerous student works. The diverse program includes workshops, talks, lectures, and much more. As varied as the content is, the location, time frame, and collective practice are what connect everything.
