The city where I live and study is not one that you connect with art. Especially in Germany where you have favourite metropolitan areas like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich or smaller cities with a lot of tradition like Heidelberg.
But attitudes are mostly a result of perception, and perception is mostly a result of marketing. Stuttgart is known for its industry (Daimler, Porsche, BOSH), for the second biggest beer festival in Germany and for the unique Swabian culture.
Last Saturday I decided to experience something new here and visited an exhibition organized by the students from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. It was one of those things that you do and have the feeling you have just nothing to lose. Usually those are the things that in the end exceed your expectations.
The concept was to present the works of students from different courses on one joint platform: all of them on the same level, standing or lying on the ground. I felt like an adventurer who's wandering through the cave of Ali Baba, finding different treasures. There are no lines, no order, except the ones you find for yourself.
I liked most:
The Safe Playground
The Hair Lady
The Mattress matching to your body
