Visit by Zoya Bassi

It has been a long time since Zoya visited us, but much longer that she was a participant in our art school. Meanwhile, she has left the Art Academy for an engagement as a coworker at BOILERROOM for the last years. No she is only temporarily working there as a freelancer. In addition, she works as a DJ video and drawing artist and she has been traveling for years with her projects throughout the world. We are all over pleased to see her regularly and we are glad that our contact has been lasting so long and consistently.

The ritual

Every morning, before we start our artistic work, we beginn the day with a warm-up exercise to put our personal feelings back and focus on our work. These can be experimental exercises for drawing, common performance sequences, playful, fun exercises and much more. The main thing is the head is free for daily work. Each participant may submit suggestions.

Starting the springtime semester

In the middle / end of February our yearly spring semester starts. In this semester, there are no more tasks and the participants feel completely free and enjoy the creative work during the whole day. It is the most beautifulsemester, because it`s so uncomplicated and while everyone is working in the room, spring is announcing itself outside – this year with particular sunny February weather

Visiting Berlin Galleries

At the Friday seminars the most diverse projects and workshops take place. From practical exercises to theoretical topics everything is possible and the plan for Friday is often decided together in the group. On this Friday we did a longer tour through Berlin galleries in Potsdamer Straße and saw some very good exhibitions and we had a lot of fun discovering.

Navot`s visit

Today Navot has been visiting us again. He came from New York to Berlin two years ago. Actually, he wanted to study architecture, but now he is in sculpture at the Academy Weissensee. He reported in detail about his studies, the exam for admission to the KHB and his current projects. In this way we are very well informed about him and also about the study conditions at the small academy in Berlin.
