SENSING – A PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE
SENSING – A PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE
May 15, 2019
With Katja Münker and Mª Auxiliadora Gálvez Pérez
As part of a workshop series, organized by the architecture research initiative and based on current research projects at the HafenCity University Hamburg, the workshop focuses on the concept and the experience of the body which critically perceives, actively constructs, and creatively designs space. It aims to discuss and experience somatic movement as a method of artistic research and to emphasize the domain in which this practice takes place, namely everyday life and, potentially, professional practice. Somatic practices – as a bodily reflection – are only possible in an interaction with the phenomena of lifeworld. Similar to Merleau-Ponty’s remark about phenomenology as ‘a quiet science of daily world’, somatic practice is a methodological study of the bodily basis of one’s own perception and simultaneously a study of perceived (everyday) world itself. Accordingly, the discursive reflection and the bodily reflection have a distinct sense and function, which will be discussed and experienced. The individual sessions include practical movement elements. Visitors and guests are invited to participate.
