The GUI | IUG enabled 15 young scholars and artists to participate in the international and interdisciplinary research project Training Creative Acts and Action.
As part of our international and interdisciplinary workshop "Training Creative Acts and Action" in September 2025, artist Nina Nielebock gilded the handrail of a pedestrian and car bridge on Wittenburger Straße in the center of Schwerin with gold leaf.
This research project combines media studies and artistic approaches to examine various image groups from the archive of the Robert Havemann Society, all of which are relevant to the environ-mental movement in the GDR.
In their interdisciplinary research project, Raha Golestani and Konstantin Schönfelder deal with Uecker’s cycle of works Homage to Hafez (2015) and the process of “performative translation” manifested in it.
The artistic research project deals with the appropriation of artifacts and forgeries of cultural property. She draws attention to their instrumentalization within geopolitical power struggles and, in this context, critically and humorously questions the role of institutions and museums in relation to the attribution of meaning to objects and their historical contextualization.
In his research project Penetrations of Space, Nick Böhnke deals with the works of Günther Uecker that are among his earliest pictorial inventions, the Finger Paintings (1956), in the wake of which his “painterly reliefs” were created (1958).
