RADIO Sonne!
A thematic project led by Bernd Krauß in collaboration with Dr. Simon Frisch of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Fakultät Medien (one week in fall trimester) and the Künstlerhäuser Worpswede (one week in spring trimester).
This first session/excursion of the thematic project RADIO Sonne! will bring us close to the center of Fränkische Schweiz, a hilly area what was once the backdrop for the very early romantic “Pfingstreise” (Pentecost Journeys) by W.H. Wackenroder and Ludwig Tieck, both students at that time of University Erlangen and so-called co-founders of German Romanticism. In letters to their families they describe in the landscape and experiences during their 4 weeks of travel through this area towards Bayreuth and the Fichtelgebirge in 1793.
In fall, a small group of Piet Zwart Fine Art students will travel with a group of Bauhaus Unversity Media students to Egloffstein, a village on the hillside of the Trubach valley, which will serve as a base camp for a week of collaborative work around literature and language, conversation and translation. We will study writings by Wackenroder and Tieck, as well as Adalbert Stifters Waldsteig und Hochwald, Ernst Jünger’s Auf den Marmorklippen, and Philipp Moll’s Blumen und Wurst. We will develop different formats for understanding text in relation to landscape and transfer those outcomes for the audience of RADIO Sonne! Radio is hereby understood as a very general method of sending and receiving. Submitting to the radio format will be a contract between us: for both have to sign off, and to let the wave shine.
