Material of the Month: Salt
Salt is a mineral substance made of NaCl molecules, representing equal proportions of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). We invite you to explore the essence and qualities of this “White Gold” such as changing taste, absorbing water, growing crystals, rusting iron and more – what would you do with it? Salt (as powder salt, salt blocks or salt water) is freely available for all students as long as our stock lasts.
Material Distribution
– Date and Time: from 30.10. to 5.11.2014 (leave your name, serve yourself)
– Location: The “Salt Lab” at the volksparksalon (Burg Gallery).
Exhibition: Materials and Making at the Burg
We are more than happy that our students will be making their premiere at this year’s Dutch Design Week in The Netherlands. With the “Materials and Making at the Burg” exhibition we are showcasing 10 selected projects of our art and design students, and an inspiring preview of an upcoming collection of materials and techniques. With student works from Industrial Design, Ceramic/Glass Design, Interior Architecture, Conceptual Textile Design and Jewellery courses we are trying to reflect the educational panorama and diversity at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. Looking forward seeing you at the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven from 18-26 October! PS If you are not in Eindhoven – you can read more about the student projects here.
