Bad Databrunn group exhibition

Between the artificial and the natural The German-Icelandic artist duo Veronika Sedlmair and Brynjar Sigurðarson show a series of material tests developed as part of a public art work that will be realised next year near the River Enz in the Northern Black Forest portal town Pforzheim. The artists and curator Jules van den Langenberg present first steps on the way to a sculpture that is to emit a rainbow in the summer months of the years to come. Office Wellness Curator Viviane Stappmanns of Vitra Design Museum joined the Ornamenta team in 2021 and 2022 during different field trips. Based on this exchange and the theme Bad Databrunn the curators of Ornamenta selected two items of the Vitra Design Museum archive that are studied by architects Studio Ossidiana. These upcoming architects are working on prototypes for new (office) furnitures that promote spa like behaviour in work environments for a post burnout society perspective. WaterSchool Northern Black Forest To start up a new educational and research platform, architect Rianne Makkink meets with Bad Wildbad’s Vocational Training Center and Goldsmith School Pforzheim to discuss a new curriculum for future ways of living with water. Visitors are welcome to join the conversation at 12pm and discuss a future education model based on water and its influence on learning. The mineral- and thermal water springs of the Northern Black Forest are a treasured source of wellbeing for inhabitants and guests of the region. For the year 2024 local educational institutions will develop a new curriculum to become aware of and connect to other waterbodies. These emerging experts aim to develop a treasure chest of aqueous adornments for future students to study and engage with water.
