Exhibition Furniture Construction
10 March 2025 - 13 June 2025

5 wooden sticks + 1 plywood panel
The exhibition ‘Furniture Construction’ by the Peter Behrens School of Arts from 2025 in the University Library showed that impressive and diverse designs can be created from this small amount of material.

An independent, functional piece of seating furniture was to be developed from a plywood panel and a maximum of five wooden rods of 1.5 m birch wood that did not exceed the dimensions L500 mm x W500 mm x H850 mm. The material was to be used efficiently and the natural surface of the wood was to be retained.

The workpieces were created in the seminar “Furniture Design WS 24/25” and were made by 3rd semester students.

Breaking Barriers : Breaking barriers with art
4 July 2024 - 19 August 2024

The exhibition “Breaking Barriers: Breaking Barriers with Art” showed a total of 16 exhibits by three female student artists with disabilities. The exhibition is part of the first Disability Pride Day, which was organized by the Disability Department of the AStA and the Incluversity Network HSD with the support of the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences and the Barrier-free Studies Office of Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences.

The works of Amy Savage, Inga Hanke and Lea Bauer used a variety of artistic techniques and approaches to explore personal themes such as identity, emotion, disability and creativity. Audio descriptions of the images and information on the meaning of the images were available via QR code at the exhibits.
