BAU!halle: Animal Sculpture at GeOrgel invites joint Upcycling

Upcycling becomes sculpture: An open studio for collaborative design

The BAU!halle invites you to a workshop where an animal sculpture is created from material, idea, and movement. The project is understood as an open studio for upcycling, where everyone can join and contribute. At its core is a participatory art process that opens up space for artwork observation, aesthetic experience, and collective work.

A place for artistic participation

GeOrgel at Bochumer Str. 150 is designed as a cooperative production platform and is supported as a project by Stefan Demming. Demming's work has been oscillating between video, installation, and site-specific projects in public spaces for years. This is also where BAU!halle derives its special energy: art is created here not in isolation, but through joint action. ([georgel.me](https://georgel.me/das-team/))

Upcycling as an artistic attitude

The event connects sustainable work with a vibrant art direction that rethinks materials rather than discarding them. The workshop emphasizes re-use, improvisation, and a playful form of sculpture. The announced excursion to the BauMit neighborhood in Carl-Mosterts-Park expands the art experience into the urban space and makes the relationship between art, neighborhood, and public palpable.

Participation instead of distance

BAU!halle is not a quiet showpiece, but an open working format. Those who come participate in a process where collaborative design, materials with history, and an experimental view of form and figure interplay. The animal sculpture thus becomes a visible result of a cultural education that brings together curiosity, manual work, and conversation.
