BA MA Jewellery

We understand jewellery and it‘s counterpart everyday objects as the dynamic relationship between material, form, body and space, exploring the intersections of material development, evolving definitions of craftsmanship, old and new traditions and disrupting presumptive rules, resulting in works that engage and push the boundaries of preconceived notions. In Armor, Hannah Offermann explores form as it changes from being worn to off the body. What lies between bodies literally gives form to Magdalena Schiesser‘s jewellery In Between. In Chocolatey, Felicitas Wasner‘s rings with chocolate play with preconceived notions of value. For Lotta Schmidt, Interdependence is the root of life and influences her jewellery collection. Multiculturalist Valeria Fernandez sees parallels in cultural mixes and clay bodies resulting in Melting Pot. Julian Graeve‘s Mask-ulinity expounds on the dialog about masculinity. Isabelle Keller combines polished metal with rock crystals in Light, Space, Body. Ayla Tur drafts a dialog with nature via Stone, Clay, and Body. Yasu Okamura goes beyond kintsugi to discover new material Connections. Olga Struck expands boundaries of glass in her Pursuit of Clarity.

Translunacy and Running Dinner

Translunacy: the transparent fascinates - it has body but dematerializes optically. It lets the environment through and distorts it. It is transparent in function but veiled in perception. Glass is an adventure. the madness is in the sense and in the lunacy...

Running Dinner: from Table to Mouth. The history of food is our cultural development. Since we humans settled down, we have been discovering and developing ever new ways of dealing with food. This stimulated the development of everyday cultural objects used to eat the transformed food. We have examined, explored, and reinterpreted this space between the table and the mouth – the results can be experienced while eating.

MADFM: MA Design & Future Making

The critical context of culture, society, industry and environment systems is our playing field in this multidisciplinary masters program. Investigating meaningfulness and exploring questions, perceptions and ideas in a practical design environment, we experiment at the intersections of analog and digital making, virtuality and materiality and artistic and practice-based research processes. We question existing techniques, processes and methods and explore what „making“ means in the context of possible „futures“. Felina Russ invites us to connect with Spatial Memories in an immersive virtual experience. Felicitas Ferch bridges physical making with digital interaction with an interactive drawing experience via gestrure control. With Fangbo Han‘s Material as Instrument you are invited to be the conductor of your own musical experience. We also present 3 industrial design graduates, future makers: Jonathan Müller Created by Contrast, Paco Kolax Shear Imagination and Phillip Remus Walking with Wool.
