02.03.2010 Artist Talk with Bernd Trasberger

(Deutsche Börse Residency Program)
7 pm

Bernd Trasberger (born in 1974 in Mönchengladbach), Germany) lives and works in Berlin. His work focuses on the design and conception of urban life and our perception of it. At last during a research stipend of "Lectoraat Kunst en Publik Ruimte, Amsterdam" he studied the design of facades and corporate architecture of the new bank district of Amsterdam: Zuida. Based on this he compared it with grid facade designs by Egon Eiermann and others in the 1960s. During his stay at Deutsche Börse Residency Program, Trasberger would like to continue his research project, but this time with a focus on the architecture of the bank district in Frankfurt in comparism with architectural references of the architecture of postwar modernity.
