Welcome to the Flying Artist’s Room!
During the 2024/2025 school year, the flying artist’s room is once again making a guest appearance on six school playgrounds in rural Hesse in the form of six mobile art studios. While there are already flying artists rooms at Stadtschule Schlüchtern in the district of Main-Kinzig, Adolf-Reichwein-Schule in Pohlheim, Gymnasium Nidda in the district of Wetter, Paul-Moor-Schule in the district of Werra-Meißner and Walter-Lübcke-Schule in the district of Kassel, they are now being joined in the 2024/2025 school year by Gesamtschule Battenberg in the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg.
There are now six artists in residence: artist duo g.a.d.o., comprising Lena Skrabs and Paloma Sanchez-Palencia, at Stadtschule Schlüchtern, Damaris Wurster at Gymnasium Nidda, Ghaku Okazaki at Paul-Moor-Schule and Dawid Liftinger at Walter-Lübcke-Schule have all been living and working in a flying artist’s room on their school playgrounds. New additions for the 2024/2025 school year are the artists Janosch Feiertag and Sophia Mix who will be moving into “their” flying artist’s room at Adolf-Reichwein-Schule in Pohlheim and Gesamtschule Battenberg in Battenberg.
The artists open up their “home” to students and teachers for three days a week at their respective schools, turning the flying artist’s rooms into a platform and playground for the whole school community to try their hand at aesthetic approaches to curriculum content, experiment with them, come up with ideas and also do projects of their own in an open studio situation.
“It was important for the Crespo Foundation to create a space conceived entirely with the artist in mind: a space for his or her own artistic evolution and in which to develop and try out new concepts of cultural education in schools.”
Prof. Christiane Riedel, chief executive officer Crespo Foundation
