Rundgang 2012
Res Obscura
Res Obscura was the main presentation of the class Intermedia at the „Rundgang“ in 2012. It is an attempt to find an alternative against the common “White Cube”- space for exhibiting contemporary art. The installation documents the aim of the students, to explore new ways of representing their work. Res Obscura is a place, which contains features of the private as well as the public space. It avoids the neutrality and the limitations (or better the exposed non-limitations) of the white cube. It is rather characterised by an atmosphere of a hidden collection visible only under certain conditions. It is a place in which one can encounter various layers of a hidden memory, residues and at the same time of a vivid presence.
Various objects can be seen as artistic artefacts and at the same time as residues of a lost history. These links a not visible at the first glance but nevertheless incorporated. They will ask the spectator for an investigation into this complex installation. The work as a whole poses the question: What is the significance of any particular item? The spectator is permanently confronted with an unstable balance between being banal, ordinary and a touching significance and even uncanny impact of these objects.

Although the interest among the students for film and video is rising it does not exist jet an independent department for these media. Students who work in the area of the moving image are mainly hosted in the classes of “media art”.
A number of student from our class want to establish a forum with regular film presentations and workshops. They aim to increase the impact of our teaching facilities towards film/ video art. This project is supported by the teaching stuff of the AV-lab too.
The venue of the “Rundgang” was used to announce this intension to a wider public and furthermore to gain support for it. They presented a DVD-sampler of video works by HGB students with accompanying booklet. By selling copies of it to the guests of the “Rundgang” they already raised money for this ambitious project.
