As is every day when something one has been working on for a few months is finally seeing the light of day, and so we’re happy and relieved that the new website we developed, in collaboration with programming wizard Christian Frey, for New York fashion label tsesay is online as [...]

FUTURE PERFECT

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

It’s a bit late to be hyping this now.  Or perhaps we are just very foresighted.
In any case, Plural Projekt was/is (will be again) a Dresden-based artists collective started by five students from the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts: Anna Grützner, Diana Welmeier, Denny Brückner, Patricia Detmering, and Benjamin Hummitzsch.  After a year of planning and [...]

NATIONAL IDENTITY

Thursday, November 7, 2013

In the so called multicultural streets of Berlin, say, in this cacophony of nations,  – eating Pastel de Nata after several encounters with Eastern melodies reverberating through the neighbour’s window – how is German identity formed?
