OCTOBER 2024 – FEBRUARY 2025

The exhibition “Fluxus and beyond: Ursula Burghardt, Benjamin Patterson ” at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne sheds light on the influential art movement of the 1960s known as Fluxus. The focus is on the works of Ursula Burghardt (1928-2008) and Benjamin Patterson (1934-2016), who were both associated with the Fluxus network.

Fluxus was characterized by actions and performances that merged art and life as well as different media. Cologne was a center of this movement in the 1960s, particularly due to the WDR’s Studio for Electronic Music and the studio of artist Mary Bauermeister, where numerous events took place. It was here that Burghardt and Patterson met in person in 1960.

The exhibition runs from 12 October 2024 to 9 February 2025 and is accompanied by an extensive supporting program of concerts, readings and workshops.

235 Media installed the media technology, consisting of media players, projectors, displays and sound. We also recorded the media players and made adjustments to the content.

APRIL – AUGUST 2024

The exhibition “Kopfüber in die Kunst” at the Museum Ostwall in the Dortmunder U allows visitors to become part of the art. The audience is transformed from passive viewers into active participants who can use all their senses to immerse themselves in the artwork – physical engagement thus becomes an essential part of the artistic process.

Among the highlights of the exhibition are the works of Joon Moon, whose installation “Chasing Stars in Shadow” (2021) tells a story about “shadow children” who switch back and forth between 2D and 3D. Visitors are invited to free the children from the second dimension with the help of a lantern and through movement.

Equally impressive is the immersive space “Field” by Design I/O, in which you can create plant worlds through movement and interaction. Field is a dynamic and constantly changing interactive ecosystem of flowing color particles.

235 Media supported the two artists in their process and provided the media technology for the installations.

26 MAY TO 15 JULY 2024

Colors create a sense of well-being or aversion, shape memories and allow us to experience spaces. The exhibition “380-780 nm. Color in Architecture and the City” at the Museum der Baukultur NRW in Düsseldorf, which took place from 26 May to 28 June 2024, was dedicated to the effect and significance of color in urban architecture and interior design. The exhibition aimed to make visitors aware of the role of color in their surroundings and its influence on perception and the sense of space. It covered topics such as the “right” and “wrong” choice of color, cultural influences on color preferences and the importance of color in climate-friendly construction. Here, innovative ideas on material selection were presented that promote ageing and reuse to support sustainable architectural solutions

Büro Dr. Ulrich Hermanns was entrusted with the exhibition design. 235 Media supplied the media technology and production for the permanent exhibition and was responsible for programming and installing the media stations.

APRIL 18 – OCTOBER 13, 2024

The special exhibition “Kant 300: A Life in Königsberg” at the East Prussian State Museum in Lüneburg paid tribute to the important philosopher on the occasion of Immanuel Kant’s 300th birthday. The exhibition ran from April 18 to October 13, 2024 and offered a comprehensive insight into Kant’s life and work in his hometown of Königsberg.

The exhibition focused on unique original objects, some of which were presented to the public for the first time. These included personal items such as Kant’s walking stick, locks of hair, oil paintings and the “Kant glass” with individual engravings. These exhibits conveyed a vivid picture of Kant the man, apart from his philosophical works.

The exhibition also served as a preview of the museum’s planned permanent exhibition, which will take a closer look at Kant’s philosophy and its relevance today. With this special exhibition, the East Prussian State Museum offered a comprehensive and multifaceted view of Immanuel Kant that was accessible to both connoisseurs and the general public.

Sunder-Plassmann & Werner Szenografie was responsible for the concept development, design and realization of the special exhibition and owns the image rights.

235 Media was responsible for the media technology for the media stations work table and a projection screen.

01 DEZEMBER 2023 – 06 JANUAR 2025

The Luther House was built in 1504 as the original Augustinian monastery and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It was given its current name because Martin Luther worked and lived there with his family after the Reformation.
Due to renovation work, the Luther House cannot be visited until 2025. However, to give visitors an opportunity to gain an insight into Luther’s life, there will be a special exhibition in the front building, known as the Augusteum. From December 1, 2023 to January 6, 2025, the exhibition “Literally Luther. The Reformer from A to Z” will be presented there.

235 Media realized a large-format, immersive spatial projection that picks up on themes from Luther’s life. Visitors are led into a boundless dimension by the room-filling projection and can thus immerse themselves in the subject matter.

The concept and production come from Dr. Ulrich Hermann’s exhibition Medien Transfer GmbH, Münster.

30 SEPTEMBER 2023

The Dithmarscher Landesmuseum presents the regional history of Dithmarschen up to 1867, with a focus on low tide, high tide, dyke construction, landscape development and settlement. Partially listed buildings and accessible rooms take visitors on a regional journey through time, including the famous courtroom of Markus Swyn from 1568. Other topics are also covered, such as evidence of Dithmarschen’s peasant republic, especially from the Middle Ages and early modern times, as well as a rich collection of textiles, toys and furniture.

In a three-year renovation project, the listed building will be modernized and a new building will serve to expand the museum. As a result of this measure, the exhibitions will be redesigned and renewed with digital exhibits. The focus here is on accessibility, both in terms of physical access and to the content of the exhibitions.

235 Media is creating numerous new media stations, room installations and animations. Here, analog and digital representations intertwine, inviting visitors to participate and creating an inclusive visitor experience.
