Festival Hall Magdeburg
No Doubt About It traces the intentions and design strategies of six international projects. Three theaters, two museums, and one residential block are examined in different stages of development through assertive positions that emerged from experimenting with intuitive ideas and perpetual doubts. The exhibition provides a platform for intentionally diverse, even contradictory ideas that are charged by innovation and ecological concerns, individualism and collaboration, artistry and pragmatism, and fundamentally free from any ideology and defiant of the consensus of any kind.
Sergei Tchoban displays his freehand drawings from performance-like sessions with professors and students of the Waldorf School in Magdeburg for a new Festival Hall on the school’s landscaped campus, now under construction. In the conversation with the curator, Tchoban said, “When I draw, I let my sketch be free to take me wherever it will.”
