A project by Furtwangen University in collaboration with the Villingen-Schwenningen Municipal Art Gallery

The exhibition “Liminality – Spaces in Transition” served as a starting point for students in Faculty IV: Business, Design & Media at Furtwangen University to explore the topic in greater depth. As part of a collaborative project with the Villingen-Schwenningen Municipal Art Gallery, students from the Internal link opens in the same window:HFU School of Design and Media and der Internal link opens in the same window:HFU Business School visited the exhibition and had the opportunity to speak with the artists whose works were on display. The conversations and the visit served as a starting point for examining the topic of “liminality” from the perspective of their respective academic disciplines. The discussions focused on transitional spaces as design, cultural and economic phenomena.

The project culminated in a joint event featuring a panel discussion on the topic “Liminality as a Space for Innovation and Creation,” in which gallery director Dr. Alejandro Perdomo Daniels also participated. The event took place as part of the HFU’s “Studium Generale” series, allowing many external guests to attend as well. As part of this event, student groups also presented interactive exhibits, films and posters that explored the topic from a variety of perspectives. The interdisciplinary project was led and coordinated by Prof. Dr. Julika Baumann Montecinos, Prof. Regina Reusch and Peter Schmidtlein from Furtwangen University.
