From November 3: "Dictionary of Exhibiting" series of talks

The TRACES Research Station at Lutherplatz in Kassel will launch its first public event series on Wednesday, November 3, 2021. Entitled "Dictionary of Exhibiting," the series of talks will focus on discourses, practices, and fields of action of exhibitions as sites of knowledge production. The series will conclude on February 16, 2022, with all talks beginning every Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. and lasting one hour.

The TRACES research station was built in the summer of 2021 by students of the University of Kassel using a self-construction method based on a design by Bauhaus teacher Ludwig Hilberseimer. It will serve the dialogue between urban society and the university for five years. Here, students and teachers will provide insights into their work through talks, lectures, workshops, seminars and exhibitions, and involve the public in research in the spirit of "citizen science."

The events will be streamed live via Youtube and will be permanently available. The links to the individual live streams can currently be found at the respective lectures (see below).
