Space for Visual Research

The SPACE FOR VISUAL RESEARCH was established at the Bauhaus- University Weimar in 2013 as a workshop and laboratory for experimental research into new graphic, abstract and visual worlds. The Space’s mission is to support the exploratory urge for new aesthetics, in particular by empowering design students to create their own individual imagery. The Space provides a set of specific experiments as starting points, ready to be questioned, interpreted and adapted in a progressive context that culminates in students’ devising and undertaking their own experiments.

Markus Weisbeck, who founded the SPACE FOR VISUAL RESEARCH together with Mathias Schmitt and Michael Ott in 2013 at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, introduces the project’s programme in an interview with Alex Marashian: .It’s possible that a method for the systematic teaching of form via abstraction could be developed. If you do graphic design with abstract images, you are more focused on composition and less distracted by questions of meaning..

The publication of the same name as lab log is able to assert its claim by demonstrating different modes of abstraction in 13 image series by 16 designers, who experimented with optical, physical, chemical and digital tools. The compositions push the limits of depiction, iconicity and exemplariness.
