Raumstrategien

The Master of Arts programme in Raumstrategien, or Spatial Strategies, at Kunsthochschule Weißensee emerged from the vision of an artistic and urban design practice that acts on city space. It tackles the necessity to reconsider the concepts “space” and “publicness” (Öffentlichkeit) in a world that is drastically transforming under the effects of globalisation, and to expand the scope of artistic practices in the social context.

Above all, Spatial Strategies aims to boost the reflection and development of an independent artistic or art-related practice that approaches debates around city, participation, artistic intervention, architecture, urban design, performativity, critique or creativity, as well as around political, economic and media questions, with a sense of autonomy and political sensibility.
