Press release from the Mainz University of Applied Sciences
Exhibition “Operation: Transformation”
The exhibition “Operation: Transformation” presents, in cooperation with the University Medical Center Mainz, exhibits that were formed from hospital operating waste materials: kidney trays, gauze bandages and pacemakers find a new area of application here. Instructions for use for surgical devices serve as inspiration for printmaking work, Surgical blankets and infusion tubes are shaped into sculptures.
Material transformations are shown - artistic approaches by students of the Communication Design course at Mainz University of Applied Sciences to inaccessible and unusual "working materials" - far from sterile clichés or hesitant movements that one would otherwise only find on antiseptic PVC floors.
Exhibition opening:
When: December 3, 2013 at 7 p.m
Where: Foyer of the Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Holzstr. 36
Drinks are provided and entry is free.
Exhibition duration:
until January 14, 2014 during the regular opening hours of the Mainz University of Applied Sciences.
