Möglichkeit Architektur (Opportunity Architecture) explores the Ziegelhütte, today's Kunsthalle Appenzell, as a building, cultural centre and social space. The project is being developed together with the architects Christoph Flury and Lukas Furrer, the art mediator Anna Beck-Wörner, the cultural journalist Monica Dörig, the dance me until the end kollektiv and the researcher and cultural worker Ulrich Vogt. It is creating a participatory platform that opens up the discussion on how spaces with a public character are designed. With the involvement of the public, the project aims to create a socially inclusive debate on cultural space that is co-designed by the many and for which they share responsibility. The project moves between exhibition, mediation programme and architectural pre-project.
The opening on 4 May marks the kick-off of the project and offers an initial insight into the history of the Ziegelhütte in Appenzell. Documents, historical photographs and stories will serve as a starting point. However, the exhibition and the accompanying events will be shaped by the interaction of the participants over the duration of the project until October. Everyone can participate in exploring and testing the spaces, whether creatively or through research, movement or discussion.
We are looking for people of all ages who are interested in the stories, the space and location, the building culture, the museum or other aspects of the Kunsthalle Appenzell. Together with the participants, groups will be formed that engage with the topic and participate in different ways. As a result, a common sphere of action is formed in which processes can be developed creatively and dynamically.
