💼 What the programme involves
The Springhornhof foundation in the Lüneburg Heath is one of the most pathbreaking landscape art projects of Europe. Since the 1970s, famous international artists from all over the word have been building an artistic landscape with over 40 installations. During the camp, your group will be helping with the maintenance of these art installations. You will also develop your own art project together with the artist Rupprecht Matthies. Rupprecht Matthies, who is often working with teams and enjoys doing it, collects ambiguous words and terms and uses them to develop different sized lettering sculptures, which are installed outdoors. In place, they appear to be amusing, profound, or irritating comments on the situation which change the perception of the landscape and stimulate thought and consideration.

🏠 Accommodation on site
