Soft Opening of Atelier 2.0

June | Matt Lorenz

Many thanks to everyone who came to the pre-opening of the “Atelier 2.0” project last Friday before the Pentecost break.
We had a lovely, sunny day to enjoy the art installations both in the studio and in front of the Herkehaus. On display were pop art, sculptures, pottery, paintings, woodwork, and electronic experiments.

Another goal was to gather ideas about what we could do with the space in the future, which is why we wanted to hear from you about the potential we could unlock in this unique space.

In addition to its continued use as a classroom, we also discussed ideas such as setting up a TV/radio station, a “makerspace,” an animation studio, a media art center, an artificial intelligence lab, and a podcast recording studio, etc.

Events such as short film festivals, DJ nights, multimedia presentations, and an event space were also mentioned as possibilities.

We’re looking forward to seeing what else we’ll come up with together!
