Exquisite Corpse, Social Makerspace and A Lot Of People

In the organizer's words:

"Exquisite Corpse, Social Makerspace and A Lot Of People" is an interactive and community-oriented art project by Quang Vinh Giang in collaboration with the Social Makerspace of FAVJ e.V. and the MakerMobil of the Bibliothek am Luisenbad. As part of his final thesis at the Berlin Weißensee School of Art, Vinh brings together artistic practice, mediation and social participation.

Based on the collaborative drawing game "Exquisite Corpse", the project combines creative workshops with participatory experiences and creates a temporary platform for collective design. It is inspired by the open, free offerings of the Social Makerspace and the MakerMobil - two of the most dedicated makerspaces of the Stadtbibliothek Mitte Berlin, with which Vinh has worked intensively in recent years. The experiences from these spaces have significantly shaped his artistic thinking.

The exhibition will take place from July 18 to 27, 2025 at Wilhelm Hallen, Kopenhagener Straße 60, 13407 Berlin. Under the direction of Vinh and his colleagues and co-makers from the library's Makerspace, visitors can expect a varied workshop program that offers low-threshold access to art:

• 18.07 (opening, from 6pm): Collaboration with the MakerMobil. Visitors can use prepared templates to design their own T-shirts using an airbrush or find out about the MakerMobil's services and develop their own designs.

• 19-20.07, 4-7 p.m.: Airbrush with Bettina Mileta and Jie Zhou

• 21-22.07, 4-7 p.m.: Cyanotype with Stella Power

• 23-24.07, 4-7 p.m.: Flat printing with ceramics with Anna Eigner

• 25-26.07, 4-7 pm: Bookbinding with Quang Vinh Giang

• 27.07 (finissage, 4-7pm): Chocolate sculptures with Quang Vinh Giang

The idea of the project is to bring people together through spontaneous, collaborative creative processes and to show how simple creative impulses can lead to unique and meaningful experiences.
