Exhibition "gardens of resistance_ unité berlin 2070"

Unfortunately, we have to cancel our exhibition "gardens of resistance_unité berlin 2070", which we wanted to open on Friday, 26.11.21, due to the exorbitant increase in the number of infections and the associated restrictions caused by the corona pandemic. We hope to make this up in the near future.

From 26.11.21 - 30.01.22 there will be an exhibition of student works, which were developed in the WPF by Prof. Heike Hanada, in the gallery "treppe b" in the Corbusierhaus Berlin. The exhibition starts on 26.11.21 at 18:00h with a vernissage and the presentation of the book that was created in parallel.


Exhibition "CLOSED STUDIOS - WELCOME" of Prof. Heike Hanada in Villa Massimo Rome

Heike Hanada RomBerlinRom  [work on progress, Villa Massimo Salone Primo Piano 2021]

For the presentation "CLOSED STUDIOS - WELCOME" Heike Hanada shows fragments from previous exhibitions and parallel to them impressions of her perception of the city of Rome. She makes use of personal notes, historical notations, Piranesi's Scenographia, Terragni's Danteum, and Roman image sequences by Fellini and Antonioni, which she translates into her own drawn language, or just put them in relation to each other: the possibility and impossibility of lines on paper, the illusion of the third dimension, the knowledge of manipulation and powerlessness, the monumental moment of absence ...

The line is assumed as the most minimal means of architecture. The drawing condenses into surfaces, suggests space. No matter, etched in metal, in sand, or drawn on a solid surface, architecture and the city are based on the abstraction of the single line. The frozen film still-as opposed to film-reveals this search for the notation of the line. In its repetition of slight nuances
each individual scene follows the spatial alignments, the built, invisible presence of the drawing.

Playing quietly in the background of the Salone Primo Piano a sequence from 52 Spaces by Robin Rimbaud, the soundtrack and elements from Antonioni's "L'Eclisse" 2002" compressed into an abstracted image of the city - distanced and surreal.

Architect and artist Heike Hanada opened the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar in 2019 and holds the chair of Building Typologies at the TU Dortmund University. She will present next February with international guests an interdisciplinary symposium at Villa Massimo with the theme "fragmental_on the dissolution of public space".

Parallel to this, she will present her work presented here in an exhibition RomeBerlinRome together with works by the architect Uwe Schröder. For this she would like to invite already now cordially.


Rome prize 2021/22 for architect Prof. Heike Hanada

Minister of State for Culture, Monika Grütters, has awarded the Rome Prize of the German Academy Rome Villa Massimo for 2021/22 to Prof. Dipl. Ing. Heike Hanada of TU Dortmund University, Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering. For one year at a time, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media awards the Villa Massimo Rome Prize to nine artists selected by the federal states and a national jury. The Rome Prize winners are among the elite of German artists. By awarding the Rome prize, a decisive contribution is made to the mediation of national art. 

Minister of State Monika Grütters emphasized: "For us Germans, Italy is the place of yearning par excellence. For the existential bond between Germans and Italians in the spirit of science, research, art and culture, I know of few more emblematic and convincing places than Rome, Venice or Florence. The artists selected from a large number of applications can rediscover the roots of Europe here and create something new in creative freedom. It is art that often creates the most sustainable bridges. I am therefore very pleased that our two countries are keeping alive the traditionally strong and diverse cultural exchange. The institutions in Italy supported by my House contribute to this."
Grütters continued, "Nowhere in the entire world do we maintain as many and as diverse cultural and scientific institutions as in Italy. Some of them - the Casa di Goethe, the Villa Massimo, the German Study Center in Venice and the Villa Romana in Florence - are supported by my House. They are highly respected ambassadors of German culture in Italy and at the same time a vibrant part of local cultural life."

Successful Women Architects: Startup Workshop and Panel Discussions
