»Inzwischen« – Rooms for art and meetings. The North Rhine-Westphalian Zukunftsakademie (Academy of the Future) opened its new location in Bochum in the autumn of 2014 and used the opportunity to introduce the Academy's main goals, ideas and events.

Its design takes up the idea of interspacing by using the distribution of letters. The artists at the opening event are positioned between the letters of the verbal trade mark, the most important information being placed in stylised rooms. The clarity of the floor plan is a dominating feature in the flyer for the opening, providing an intuitive overview of the programme highlights and their links with the new premises. The Academy's most important upcoming projects are represented by a series of five yellow cards, each of which is a self-contained space for the information on the concept and the artists. Together they also show a collective identity – »Inzwischen«.

Dirt, waste, muck – it's always there, surrounds us, it's an everyday thing, be it problem or art. The art event »Dreck – ein Apparat« (Dirt – an apparatus) deals with the most different perspectives of dirt. Food from bins, mudfighting, discussions about dirty topics.

The design has taken up the systemic aspect of dirt. Layers resembling geological drawings are found throughout the programme – systematic as circles, squares or crosses. But they are interrupted and pervaded by something that can be hidden in the earth, the waste, the dirt; a treasure. Designed in gold these structures form the opposite, the other perception, yet still a part of the system.
