AAA Experiments is an innovative exhibition at Kunsthalle Zürich, co-created by ETH Zurich's students, researchers, and professors, under the curation of Daniel Baumann and Adrian Notz. It features the 'Mehrwerk' stand, constructed from repurposed materials by Professor Catherine De Wolf and her students, serving as a venue for public talks and seminars from October 7. This dynamic space acts as both a real and imagined structure, blending art with science, where ongoing student-led projects evolve the exhibition content. Embracing the philosophy of improvisation and action over rigid planning, as inspired by architect Yona Friedman, AAA Experiments serves as an open platform for experimentation, learning, and interaction, encouraging visitors to engage with an open mind for an experience that could range from mundane to inspirational. The Kunsthalle’s website updates visitors on the schedule of events.
AAA Experiments is made up of four elements: the grandstand 'Mehrwerk', Seminars, Public Talks, and an evolving exhibition. In this video we attend the opening reception of the exhibition and speak with Co-curator Adrian Notz, Vanessa Schwarzkopf and Tim Cousin (both Circular Engineering for Architecture, D-BAUG, ETH Zürich) about the project. The exhibition runs until January 19, 2025.
