Community Playground. Say it with Clay!

As part of the event series “An Exercise in Defending Democracy”, we’ve invited the artists’ collective openplay to the “Bauhaus Playroom” at the temporary bauhaus-archiv.

We asked ourselves: What does a democratic society need?

The answer: Places where people can meet and share ideas, spaces where people can strike up conversation. And what part can a museum play in this?

The Bauhaus-Archiv offers an environment conducive to encounter and dialogue. And what better way to get people talking than to give them a piece of modelling clay to create figures which can interact with one another?

Openplay

We’re Alex, Fee and Max, and we got together, asked questions and came up with playful answers.

Alex Elsner is a graphic designer and co-founder of the design agency büro bungalow. His design space is multifaceted, prioritising participative methods with, for and by people. His work ranges from interactive calendars and family exhibitions to a design union, which he is currently developing. His topics of interest include bursting bubbles, neighbourhoods and urban development.

Fee Wedepohl is the co-founder of “COMM: The Pop-Up Office for the Museum”. She also develops structures for greater outreach and participation at the non-profit investigative organisation CORRECTIV. Fee strongly believes that our society urgently needs more engagement, more in-person community involvement and, to this end, new forms of encounter. She loves experimenting with these forms and using these to get people to interact with one another.

Maximilian Wahlich works at the Bauhaus-Archiv as an associate curator and is involved in several exhibition projects. He writes exhibition reviews for online forums, such as ‘art-in-berlin’ and ‘Schirnmag’. Using playful methods and proactive approaches for dealing with mistakes, he aims to create new channels of access and creative solutions.
