Workshop Impressions
The Art and Science of Mushroom Cultivation (Wintersession 2015)
(Cooking the straw substrate, source: Mediamatic Amsterdam)
This year’s WINTERSESSION 2015 features workshop on “The Art and Science of Mushroom Cultivation” instructed by Antoni Gandia.
“Fungi are organisms that have an enormous cultural potential that we are only just starting to discover. Some people even claim that they will save the world. For Antoni Gandia (M.Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology of Plants) fungi are a source of new materials that can replace many synthetics in the 21st century. They play an important role in our food systems as well as having great symbolical value. These are the reasons why scientists as well as artists are starting to work with them on many levels.” – The workshop takes place in a clean biological laboratory supported by the GROW Platform for Art/Science Projects.
For more information and registrations (until 28.1.2015) please see the WINTERSESSION 2015 workshop program (with “The Fast and the Furious: Marker Techniques”, “Analog VJing mit Pencil Quincy`s “Magic Machine“, and many more workshop oferings for Burg’s art and design students).
Excursion: Saline Museum Halle
We’ll will be giving a special focus on the material “Salt” together with Prof. Stella Geppert this semester. Feel free to join us for an excursion to the Saline Museum Halle and learn more about the role and importance that salt production played on the economic development of the city of Halle (Saale).
The excursion takes place this Wednesday 8.10.2014.

Wintersession: 3D Printing with Jonathan Keep and Exploring Materials with Filipe Natalio
Dear Makers! During the coming Wintersession we invited studio potter and digital artist Jonathan Keep (photo left) to build our own 3D printer together so we will be able to print more than plastics (we’re focusing on paste materials such as ceramics, cookie dough? toothpaste? …). The week after we will be taking a more scientific approach focused on the future of materials, in a pilot project titled “Exploring Future Materials” with Dr. Filipe Natalio (photo right) who recently gave an inspiring lecture on Biomimetics at the BURG.
