Marion Kliesch, Peter Hermans and Sanna Schiffler, together with Jörg Dinkelaker (Professor of Adult Education and Continuing Vocational Education at MLU Halle-Wittenberg) and Malte Ebner v. Eschenbach (private lecturer at MLU Halle-Wittenberg), take up the question: What conclusions (social, contemporary, cultural, aesthetic, technological) can be drawn from the visual design of adult education centres (1919-2025)?
The MaximliansForum is a space in public space as public space: in the centre of Munich, open around the clock, as a location, passageway, pedestrian subway and art space.
In a joint process with different actors and approaches, the if, then, else project tests the functions and contexts of architectural, social and representative public space and designs form(at)ulations between "being public" and entering into an exchange with the public.
if, then, else: if <condition> then <action> otherwise <...>. if, then, else defines a repertoire of methods and phases: recording, drafting and scripting, setting, inviting, editing, publishing and reviewing. As a workshop, installation, display, shop window, meeting place, editorial office and research field, the space itself appears as a starting point: for observing and being observed, as a temporary space for thinking, working and projection. The conditions as space and place are questioned, shown, form(at)ed and regularly published in connection with and in a public sphere: online and in situ. The dialogue begins from here - by observing, taking note and asking questions: on site, in the site, in public, to a public. What do you see, what do you think about it and what do you do with it?
if edited, then publish. else: review.
