In the summer term of 2013 Professor René Francisco Rodriquez from our partner university Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana (ISA) was our guest in Halle, offering a workshop to students of both the art and design faculty. We had met René Francisco a year earlier in Havanna on a wasteland close to the city, were he was constructing a 'temporary city' with his students for the Havana Biennial. We had already heard of his teaching method 'Desde Una Pedagogìa Pragmatica', or short DUPP, in which he intently explores and searches for the relationship between art and life, or design and everyday necessities, with a fixed group of students over a longer period of time. The students investigate their desires, develop visions and ideas and then implement them collectively in temporary or permanent artistic works. They often do this in collaboration with the residents of Havana. In a country shaped by shortage and poverty, working artistically poses a challenge. It requires fantasy and the ability to improvise and associate freely, not to mention an organizational talent, social skills and strategic thinking when it comes to mastering bureaucratic obstacles or acquiring materials. Thus, René Francisco's teaching does not only focus on artistic design and form as such, but encompasses an innovative and holistic method for implementing artistic interventions in the urban and social context. The workshop in Halle took place under less precarious signs, and-due to the shortness of time and the fact that the event took place alongside all other study obligations-could not be performed with such consistency. Nonetheless, it tied in directly with many of the discussions and questions we have here in Halle with our students and that have gained importance in the public art discourse of the last years: How do we want to live? How can our actions have a lasting effect? How can we engage in and actively shape societal reality? What could a societal sculpture look like? During the workshop, the students developed a series of performances, interventions, and installations in the public space. This collection of works documents all individual and joint projects and insight gained during the workshop.

Im Sommersemester 2013 leitete René Francisco Rodriguez, Professor an unserer Partnerhochschule Instituto Superior de Arte in Havanna (ISA), bei uns an der Hochschule einen Workshop, an dem Studierende aus verschiedenen Klassen beider Fachbereiche teilnahmen. Kennen gelernt hatten wir René Francisco ein Jahr zuvor in Havanna, auf einer Baustelle auf einer Brache, wo er mit einer Gruppe von Studierenden des ISA eine "temporäre Stadt" für die Biennale von Havanna baute. Wir hatten bereits von seinem pädagogischen Ansatz gehört, DESDE UNA PEDAGOGÌA PRAGMATICA, kurz DUPP genannt, demzufolge er mit einer jeweils festen Gruppe Studierender über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg konsequent die Verbindung von Kunst und Leben, die Verknüpfung von Gestaltung und alltäglichen Notwendigkeiten sucht. Die Studierenden erforschen, zum Teil zusammen mit den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern der Stadt, Wünsche, entwickeln Visionen und realisieren gemeinsam temporäre oder auch dauerhafte künstlerische Transformationen. In einem Land wie Kuba, das auch von Mangel und Armut geprägt ist, ist dies eine besondere Herausforderung. Phantasie, Assoziations- und Improvisationsvermögen, Planungsfähigkeit, soziale Kompetenz und strategisches Denken in Bezug auf bürokratische Hürden und Materialbeschaffung sind nur einige der Anforderungen, die an seine Studenten gestellt werden. Seine Lehre bezieht sich demzufolge nicht nur auf das Gestalten an sich, sondern umfasst eine innovative und ganzheitliche Methode zur Umsetzung künstlerischer Interventionen im städtischen und sozialen Raum (...)
