Aims and Objectives of the organization kunstwirkstoff

Creating spaces for projects as a platform and as a strategic element for the practical development of artistic and cultural exchange and networking.

Workshops focus on Performance Art and are called T.a.T. meaning action in art in action. They can be established as educational outposts to regional and European Art institutions (Kingston University London). In the context of research some of the debates will engage in the position of the artist as foreigner and the experience and function of cultural 'vehicles'. kunstwirkstoff is also a tool for the planning, realization and production of Performance Art, mixed inter-disciplinary actions, cooridinated and introduced through the international project 'transit station' event and exhibition in European cities.

Creative Movement Therapy is introduced as day-seminars to the children of the regions around Jerxheim-Bahnhof.
