For all those who want to uplevel the access to their own creativity and no longer desperately search for inspiration: In an 11-step program Rose Kaufhold guides through your own world. Rose Kaufhold is an artist and researcher from the Rhine-Main region. Drawing on her research and artistic practice, she creates spaces of transformation in which new possibilities can emerge: Her goal is for you to breathe freely and be able to create something new. She currently holds a research residency in Montréal, Canada, an MFA from HfG Offenbach and writes on interdisciplinary connections and free lyrics. She is trained in philosophy and neuroscience.

How does creation happen? Where do ideas and inspiration come from? What makes us move? To the individual answers to these questions Rose Kaufhold shows a practical way. Participants meet at the Museum Angewandte Kunst, take the meaning of their environment and the shore of the Main into account, practice their perception and bring their view on creative doing into tangible form.

The workshop includes a theoretical introduction, a short walk to the main, interaction with nature, exchange with participants and practical artistic experiment (incl. acrylic paint). Suitable for creative professionals and motivated starters.

Building on the exhibition On Display: How Graphic Design Shapes Us, this workshop invites participants to explore graphic design hands-on. During the session, participants will collect, cut, draw, print, combine, and reassemble elements. The focus is less on “correct” design and more on experimenting with different visual languages and exploring what emerges when we step away from familiar ways of seeing and designing.

The workshop combines inspiration from the exhibition with ample time for hands-on work. Various analog techniques – such as collage, drawing, printing, and the combination of images and text – will be introduced and can be further developed individually. Participants are welcome to bring their own themes and materials or draw inspiration from the exercises and the exhibition.

Young people are exploring public spaces and developing their own ideas for how to design them. The exhibition Urban Space Research Frankfurt offers insights into the project process, showcases selected results and invites visitors to try their hand at creative experimentation.

Public space is more than just streets and squares – it is a place for encounters, movement and personal engagement. Starting with an exploration of Frankfurt, pupils from the Georg-August-Zinn-Schule and the Aktive Schule Frankfurt examined their surroundings using product design methods and performative approaches.

Through observations, spatial experiments and creative tasks, new perspectives on urban space emerged. From these diverse experiences, ideas, models and fragments developed, highlighting possibilities for shared coexistence in public space. The works invite us to take a fresh look at Frankfurt from the perspective of young people and to develop our own visions of the city.

This September’s Satourday is entirely dedicated to the theme WRITING & LETTERS.
Writing and letters shape our everyday lives in many different ways. Various museums offer different perspectives on this – from design and art to history and communication. This allows us to experience how writing conveys information, provides guidance and serves as an expression of ideas and culture.

At the workshop at the Museum Angewandte Kunst, we’ll be creating giant letters together! Families with children will build letters out of cardboard and decorate them. This makes writing a playful and creative experience, even for the youngest children.

Free workshop for families with children aged 6 and over.

As part of the exhibition In the Mode of Seriality. Difference, Variation, and Repetition in Architecture and Design, the Frankfurt-based foundation urban future forum e.V. – the exhibition’s initiator and conceptualizer – invites the public to several accompanying lecture and discussion events. The so-called Serial Parliaments are each dedicated to an overarching thematic block and invite architects, manufacturers, politicians, and citizens to present their thoughts and positions on serial planning and production and to discuss them with the audience. The goal is to demonstrate how the (supposed) contradiction between mass production and good design can be resolved and to use examples to show that quality is compatible with the methods of industrial manufacturing.

Moderation:
Jens Jakob Happ, Stiftung urban future forum e.V., Frankfurt am Main

Guests:

• Louisa Hutton, Sauerbruch Hutton Architects, Berlin
• Milena Karanesheva, Karawitz Architects, Paris
• Andreas Krawczyk, NKBAK Architects, Frankfurt am Main
• Prof. Herrmann Kaufmann
• Manfred Senff, Kaufmann Bausysteme GmbH, Reuthe, Austria
• Ernst Böhm, B&O Group, Bad Aibling
• Ernest Pacarada, Pacarada Group, Kelkheim

The tile is one of the oldest mass-produced building elements in existence. A single module has little impact—it is only through repetition that a wall, floor, or facade emerges. At the same time, even the slightest changes create dynamic patterns. The participants explore how much individuality a series can accommodate and when variation gives rise to a new system.
Cost: 30 euros (includes museum admission)
