Feldstärke International 2014
Interdisciplinary platform
for arts schools and
academies in NRW
Feldstärke International 2014 took place in June/July 2014 in Essen and Marseille, and September 2014 in Kyoto. 30 participants, 10 each from Germany, France and Japan, met for three week-long working phases in Essen, Marseille and Kyoto. Using a form of field research directly responsive to its location, the participants explored practical, intercultural and inter-disciplinary working methods, as well as urban, social, political and artistic contexts, in order to illuminate similarities and differences and open up unexpected perspectives on their own artistic strategies and those of others.
Patrons
Deutsche Staatsministerin für Kultur und Medien, Prof. Monika Grütters, as well as the French Minister for Culture and Communication, Aurélie Filippetti.
