Studio Malta

The idea

The idea of ​​the format is to bring together professionals and amateurs, artists, and interested participants in a setting of workshops and intervention sites, created specifically for the festival. On the one hand, visible results are being produced, on the other hand, a comprehensive framework program of educational and relaxing activities serve the intensive interaction and personal development of all participants.

Teaching formats and supporting program

The construction week was focused on the development of common areas within the Container City. Five construction teams designed spatial interventions and implemented them on site under the guidance of expert artisans, artists and communication designers.

Design elements and furnishing for the market square and the green oasis were realized as well as a modular outdoor furniture system for containers.

At the Infopoint of the Kunstverein, an orientation system was installed and one team developed a site-specific audiovisual installation.

The excursion to the exhibition ‘Good Space’ at Villa Merkel and the lecture series ‘Stadt [Bauschule]’ in the project space TAUT complemented the intensive construction days in order to point out innovative contemporary ways of dealing with urban spaces and their possibilities. The festival ended on 13.08.16 in a public closing party with an exhibition of the work results.
