Thingstätten

The Relevance of the Past for the Present

Between 1933 and 1936, so-called “Thingstätte” were erected as propagandistic open-air theaters and meeting places for National Socialism. Four hundred were planned, and around sixty were constructed. Many of these today, almost barely known sites, can still be found in Germany, Poland, and Russia. In the form of an interdisciplinary research project, art and documentation, texts, and images by twenty-three international artists and scholars facilitate a pluralistic examination of the unusual history of the “Thingstätte” and the past's relevance to the present.

Artists:
Katharina Bosse, Rebecca Budde de Cancino, Doug Fitch, Jan Merlin Friedrich, Jakob Ganslmeier, Andrea Grützner, Rebecca Hackemann, Konstantin Karchevskiy, Hendrik Lüders,
Daniel Mirer, Felix Nürmberger, Ralph Pache, Abhijit Pal, Philipp Robien, Jewgeni Roppel, Simon Schubert, Kuno Seltmann, Erica Shires, Thomas Wrede

"Between Art and the Practicalities of Media Education"

Theodor Adorno, writes, “The value of an artwork is not measured by how well it communicates, but on the contrary by how much it resists pre-given standards of judgment.” As educators, we teach art disciplines that were once concerned with evaluating visual art according to rational principles, relying on notions of artistic genius and other self-motivated attributes: talent, perception, interpretation, and forming theory in creative practices. 

What is the place of media/photographic art in the world today? Do we meet the aspirations and economic realities of our students? Are the current curriculum models still necessary or needs to be broadened with marketable skills? Are the pedagogical and curriculum standards coincide with advanced technology, mass-information, and multinational capitalism reflect a shrinking job market? Are art departments preparing students to be flexible and proactive in a diminished industry? This roundtable discussion is to present teaching models that address these challenges.

Daniel Mirer: ArchitorSpace_Vacancy

 

Summer (2014), I was fortunate to have two concurrent and ongoing photographic projects.

 

I was in an Artist residency Program “STARRY NIGHT” Residency Program in the rural town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, throughout June. During this residency, I was working on the photography project “Indifferent West.” Indifferent West is a photographic series that investigates the western American landscape and its touristic architectural sites. Through this project, I photograph the found and sentimental representations of the mythic frontier and American iconify center. The images are of tourist sites, familiar places, and cliche and cite that lack of a picturesque image of an ideal landscape.

For the last year Katharina Bosse, University of Bielefeld (DE), and I have created “Thingstãtten” locations.  Thingstãtten is a term used to define outdoor Nazi cult theaters during 1933-1945

 

This July and Aug, I have received a small start-up funding from the German government to create a working body that will take a few years to complete. This summer, the funding I received is for me, with collaborative partner Katharina Bosse to photograph and create video images of “Thingstãtten in Deutschland." 

 

This project is intended to be exhibited in Germany at government museums and universities. Katharina and I hope to create interest with other universities and museums to exhibit this project. We are raising funds to create a book of the Thingstãtten” locations with writer Dr. Gerwin Strobl from Cardiff University (UK).
