GEM is a precious stone, a part of community, a piece of the commons. ‘GEM GEM’ stands for polyphony - it is created as a shared ephemeral magic, it functions as a poisonous educational megaphone or even guides us through our charitable and stubborn microcosms. Community becomes a refuge, a place of longing or a counter-programme and is often caught up in the complex reality of enduring one another. ‘GEM GEM’ is the result of a cooperation between the artistic study programmes KKP (Art and Communicative Practice) and DEX (Design, Material Culture and Experimental Practice). It interweaves artistic-educative practices with forms of thought and action and scientific methods and materialises critical reflections on cultural and economic conditions, diversity, inclusion, gender and ecology. ‘GEM GEM’ provides insights into what moves art education at the Angewandte. It focuses on formats of collaboration: we create together, think together, organise and live together - and we prefer to celebrate together anyway.
