TRACES | Anna Schimkat: Listening to Space. On Sound, the Public Sphere, and the Politics of Listening

Anna Schimkat | Listening to Space: On Sound, the Public Sphere, and the Politics of Listening
Invited by the Slotawa Class

The Transdisciplinary Research Center for Exhibition Studies (TRACES) brings together interdisciplinary research approaches on the history and present state of exhibition practices at the Kassel Art Academy and various departments of the University of Kassel. The research station at Lutherplatz was built in the summer of 2021 by students at the University of Kassel using a DIY approach based on a design by Bauhaus professor Ludwig Hilberseimer; it serves as a platform for dialogue between the urban community and the university. Here, students and faculty offer insights into their work through discussions, lectures, workshops, seminars, and exhibitions, and they involve the public in their research in the spirit of “citizen science.” More about TRACES
