ART-WORD-ART

 

 

Nine high schools from the Altöttting and Traunstein school cluster of the Technical University of Munich joined forces with the DASMAXIMUM museum for the first time in 2014 for the KunstWortKunst (ArtWordArt) project, which places art and creative writing at the heart of extracurricular education. Students in the 10th grades were invited to write a text inspired by a work of art freely chosen at DASMAXIMUM - without guidelines, without the framework of school, and without restrictions from teachers. The interdisciplinary approach of "KunstWortKunst" and the concept of the museum, which was opened as a foundation in Traunreut in 2011 by the art promoter Heiner Friedrich, meet in an ideal way here, because in the exhibition of major works of international contemporary art on now a good 4,000 square meters flooded with daylight, the focus should not be on art historical instruction but on the experience of art. A top-class jury of experts from the fields of literature, art, culture and the press selects the best texts from among the submissions, which are then honored in a small anthology and made accessible to interested readers. The success of the writing competition eventually led to the fact that KunstWortKunst is now firmly established every 2 years.
