artMOVED is a new art education program at DASMAXIMUM that is aimed at people with and without inclusion needs. The majority of traditional museum education concepts are based on a linguistic and intellectual approach to art, which makes access more difficult for people with various social, physical or cognitive disabilities. Together with the two dance educators Andrea MArton and Ute Schmitt, we would like to work with artMOVED take a different path, based on a physical and intuitive perspective.

For many years, the DASMAXIMUM museum has placed individual art experience at the forefront of its educational work. With the project artMOVED the aim is to take the exploration of the works in the permanent collection to an even more direct, intuitive and non-verbal level through a moving approach. Rhythm, movement, spatiality, but also the materiality and mood of a work of art are explored by the participants and, in a second step, translated back into movement and spatial references, also to each other, via their own bodies. In addition to the moving approach to a work of art, the participants' own body awareness and social interaction with other participants in the space are encouraged.

With artMOVED The aim is to create a long-term and inclusive offer that not only brings the most diverse target groups into the museum halls via the "mixed ability" approach, but also creates a place for encounters and cultural participation.

Participate in artMOVED 2024

The first year of the project takes up works by the artist Imi Knoebel. The room offers enough space for movement, the large-format wall objects invite visitors to explore themes such as grouping, isolation, superimposition and dynamics and can be transformed into movement.

Social institutions and schools can now register for the first edition of kunstBEWEGT (July 15-18, 2024).
