Project Summary

In a world of high dynamic and complexity, not only knowledge, but creativity is THE key competence to steer and implement economic and social processes. Collective abundance of ideas as well as problem solving orientation within collaborations are needed.

MAIN GOAL
The project ARTISTS’ GLASSES wants to give access to the potential of artists’ abilities for interested adults so that they can experience and use it. Typical artistic competences are the handling of open, insecure and non-projectable situations and the creative use of co-operations. These competences can be shown, taught and trained.

CONTENT
This project focuses completely on the one big innovative teaching-learning format which could not be realized within the second Erasmus+ Project (09/2017 – 08/2019) due to reduced timeline. The main emphasis shifts now to the field of adult education.
The format is a walk-in teaching-learning platform with a learning parkour on an area of 200 – 300 m2. Twelve invited artists from all sections and from four European countries visualize their artistic processes, which are shown to a broad target group. Visual artists freeze an outstanding moment in their working process where one or more artistic attitudes are manifested. Musicians, singers and performing artists such as actors or dancers show their competences in a performance which will be documented with photos or film. Furthermore, authors describe or visualize one or more concise attitudes of their writing process. The outputs are art pieces which show “attitudes of artistic thinking and working”. They are physically and/or medially (film/sound) exhibited in the teaching-learning platform.
Each artist will be interviewed in order to learn how to approach the topic, how to perceive ideas for problem solutions, how to overcome a crisis and how to use the full creative potential. The essence of their developed artistic attitudes is documented in a film of 3-5 minutes per artist and is shown together with his art piece in the teaching-learning platform. Together with the strategic partners of this project they invent innovative instructions for adults who are visiting the learning parkour. These instructions are manuals to execute a task in order to practically experience artistic thinking and acting. These tasks are exercises for adults so that they can practice and eventually transfer them into daily life. So, the teaching-learning platform is a sort of learning parkour and therefore an action-oriented experience.

LOCATIONS
The teaching-learning platform is shown in four locations: Kunstraum Engländerbau in Vaduz/LI, Haus am Lützowplatz in Berlin/D, Bildungshaus St. Hippolyt in St. Pölten/A and Landesmuseum Südtirol im Schloss Tirol/I. Duration: approx. two months each.

TARGET GROUPS
Adult visitors, participants of different standards of education and backgrounds, interested adults who want to develop and deepen their artistic attitudes, working people (especially managers and employees) as well as artists from all sections, students and apprentices.

DEEPER INSIGHTS
A program is offered to explain the attitudes behind the exhibits with deeper instructions given by the strategic partners. The goal is to enable additional fields of experience for the target groups who are specially invited to participate. It’s about approach, view, confrontation, individual testing and common reflection of artistic ways of thinking and working. A wide selection of interactive access possibilities such as artist talks, podium discussions, workshops and interactive tours will take place.

BENEFIT
Widening the horizon with artistic tools and methods as well as the competence to break up old patterns of thinking, to change the perspective and to develop new strategies and solutions to face multiple challenges in the future.

HANDBOOK
It documents, explains and deepens the topics and contents of the teaching-learning platform. The essence of each artists‘ talk, the pictures, the explanations of the exhibits and practice oriented instructions are part of the handbook. Furthermore, the artistic attitudes are described in detail so that European Citizens can take advantage of the learnings. The handbook is printed in German, a short version will be translated into Italian.

STRATEGIC PARTNERS
The following partners are involved: The project leader and owner of Kubus Kulturvermittlung from Liechtenstein is the initiator of the ARTISTS’ GLASSES. She leads managers, employees and interested adults through arts-based processes. The director of the Haus am Lützowplatz in Berlin as well as the director of the National Museum Schloss Tirol in South Tyrol, deliver a wide artistic understanding and deep curatorial experience.
