Münster Lecture /// Katja Heitmann, Choreographin, Tilburg
08.06.2021 18:00, online
Katja Heitmann (1987, DE) investigates in her visual-choreographic work what moves mankind in the current era. Katja Heitmann's choreographic work consists of extreme aesthetics, in sharp contrast to human fallibility. Her minimalistic and minutely designed imagery confronts viewers with a frantic flood of insights. This distinct, perceptible tension returns in all her work.
As a choreographic sculptor, Katja is constantly searching for the core of her material. By means of radical concepts and well-considered forms of performance, she strips her artistic material of any noise. Only that what really matters is shown with astonishing sharpness. In every detail of her work lies the grand gesture.
Katja Heitmann wants to touch her audience. Through her work she constantly seeks interaction with society, with the city, with people. The universal character of her work makes it possible for anyone who wants to find their own entrance to the work. Katja Heitmann creates unique performance installations and movement exhibitions that appeal to an astonishingly varied audience and regularly stir them to tears.
In 2016 Katja was awarded the Prize of the Dutch Dance Festival. In 2020 she was honoured with the prestigious Gieskes Strijbis Podium-award for her original oeuvre.
The coming years Katja Heitmann and her dancers-team are developing Motus Mori; an institute for movement heritage. They are going to collect, preserve and exhibit the endangered human movement, building on a constantly growing archive. In Motus Mori, the body forms the archive. More than 700 people have already donated their movements to the archive and are still preserved in the dancers’ bodies.
Started in 2019, Motus Mori is an ongoing research on embodied knowledge and performing history. The archive is regularly presented in long durational movement-exhibitions, performance lectures or movement-rituals in public spaces. In 2021 Katja opens the Motus Mori-gallery in Tilburg, making the archive accessible to an audience on personal appointment.
Reviews:
Museumtijdschrift, Edo Dijksterhuis: "Museum Motus Mori is a kinetic portrait of all of us. The way this comes to form, via the body instead of via the mind, is more effective, more direct and more touching than any video, photo or text will ever be."
NRC, Francine van der Wiel:"In Museum Motus Mori Heitmann collects, describes, archives and exhibits the minimal movements, we all make every day, but which immediately disappear. - the beauty and vulnerability of dance in a sophisticated concept."
Barbara Strating, Tubelight:" (...) most impressive exhibition I have ever visited. Museum Motus Mori confronts you with what we all have in common. Katja Heitmann calls it humanity."

Katja Heitmann's choreographic work consists of extreme aesthetics, in sharp contrast to human fallibility. Her minimalistic and minutely designed imagery confronts viewers with a frantic flood of insights. This distinct, perceptible tension returns in all her work.
As a choreographic sculptor, Katja is constantly searching for the core of her material. By means of radical concepts and well-considered forms of performance, she strips her artistic material of any noise. Only that what really matters is shown with astonishing sharpness. In every detail of her work lies the grand gesture.
Katja Heitmann wants to touch her audience. Through her work she constantly seeks interaction with society, with the city, with people. The universal character of her work makes it possible for anyone who wants to find their own entrance to the work. Katja Heitmann creates unique performance installations and movement exhibitions that appeal to an astonishingly varied audience and regularly stir them to tears.
In 2016 Katja was awarded the Prize of the Dutch Dance Festival. In 2020 she was honoured with the prestigious Gieskes Strijbis Podium-award for her original oeuvre.
The coming years Katja Heitmann and her dancers-team are developing Motus Mori; an institute for movement heritage. They are going to collect, preserve and exhibit the endangered human movement, building on a constantly growing archive. In Motus Mori, the body forms the archive. More than 700 people have already donated their movements to the archive and are still preserved in the dancers’ bodies.
Started in 2019, Motus Mori is an ongoing research on embodied knowledge and performing history. The archive is regularly presented in long durational movement-exhibitions, performance lectures or movement-rituals in public spaces. In 2021 Katja opens the Motus Mori-gallery in Tilburg, making the archive accessible to an audience on personal appointment.
Reviews:
Museumtijdschrift, Edo Dijksterhuis: "Museum Motus Mori is a kinetic portrait of all of us. The way this comes to form, via the body instead of via the mind, is more effective, more direct and more touching than any video, photo or text will ever be."
NRC, Francine van der Wiel:"In Museum Motus Mori Heitmann collects, describes, archives and exhibits the minimal movements, we all make every day, but which immediately disappear. - the beauty and vulnerability of dance in a sophisticated concept."
Barbara Strating, Tubelight:" (...) most impressive exhibition I have ever visited. Museum Motus Mori confronts you with what we all have in common. Katja Heitmann calls it humanity."

They are going to collect, preserve and exhibit the endangered human movement, building on a constantly growing archive. In Motus Mori, the body forms the archive. More than 700 people have already donated their movements to the archive and are still preserved in the dancers’ bodies.
Started in 2019, Motus Mori is an ongoing research on embodied knowledge and performing history. The archive is regularly presented in long durational movement-exhibitions, performance lectures or movement-rituals in public spaces. In 2021 Katja opens the Motus Mori-gallery in Tilburg, making the archive accessible to an audience on personal appointment.
Reviews:
Museumtijdschrift, Edo Dijksterhuis: "Museum Motus Mori is a kinetic portrait of all of us. The way this comes to form, via the body instead of via the mind, is more effective, more direct and more touching than any video, photo or text will ever be."
NRC, Francine van der Wiel:"In Museum Motus Mori Heitmann collects, describes, archives and exhibits the minimal movements, we all make every day, but which immediately disappear. - the beauty and vulnerability of dance in a sophisticated concept."
Barbara Strating, Tubelight:" (...) most impressive exhibition I have ever visited. Museum Motus Mori confronts you with what we all have in common. Katja Heitmann calls it humanity."

Münster Lecture /// Katja Heitmann, Choreographin, Tilburg
08.06.2021 18:00, online
Katja Heitmann (1987, DE) investigates in her visual-choreographic work what moves mankind in the current era. Katja Heitmann's choreographic work consists of extreme aesthetics, in sharp contrast to human fallibility. Her minimalistic and minutely designed imagery confronts viewers with a frantic flood of insights. This distinct, perceptible tension returns in all her work.
As a choreographic sculptor, Katja is constantly searching for the core of her material. By means of radical concepts and well-considered forms of performance, she strips her artistic material of any noise. Only that what really matters is shown with astonishing sharpness. In every detail of her work lies the grand gesture.
Katja Heitmann wants to touch her audience. Through her work she constantly seeks interaction with society, with the city, with people. The universal character of her work makes it possible for anyone who wants to find their own entrance to the work. Katja Heitmann creates unique performance installations and movement exhibitions that appeal to an astonishingly varied audience and regularly stir them to tears.
In 2016 Katja was awarded the Prize of the Dutch Dance Festival. In 2020 she was honoured with the prestigious Gieskes Strijbis Podium-award for her original oeuvre.

Der Wewerka Pavillon ist ein permanenter Ausstellungsraum der Kunstakademie Münster.
Er steht unter gemeinsamer Obhut der Stadt Münster und der Hochschule. Der Pavillon gilt als Exempel für die kulturelle Vielfalt und Offenheit der Stadt sowie für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Stadt und Kunstakademie.
Der Pavillon wurde ursprünglich im Jahr 1987 anlässlich der documenta 8 vom Architekten und Künstler Stefan Wewerka entworfen und von der Firma TECTA ausgeführt. Auf Initiative von Ulrich Krüger wurde der Pavillon als Leihgabe des Eigentümers Axel Bruchhäuser in Münster platziert. Seit 1989 steht er auf einer Wiese am Aasee.
Der gläserne Kubus, oft als Schaukasten oder Vitrine bezeichnet, fungiert als Ausstellungsraum, der Kunstwerke beherbergt und im wörtlichen Sinne von allen Seiten aus nach außen zur Schau stellt. Er ist sowohl für Kunstschaffende als auch für die Bürger*innen der Stadt von großer Bedeutung. Mit seinem Doppelcharakter zwischen geschlossener Vitrine und skulptural autonomem Objekt, stellt der Pavillon ein Experimentierfeld und eine nicht leicht zu bewältigende Herausforderung für die Studierenden dar.
Platziert in der öffentlichen, freizeitlich genutzten Parklandschaft am Aasee, bietet er ihnen eine Möglichkeit, sich mit ihren künstlerischen Arbeiten direkt an ein größeres Publikum zu wenden. Somit bildet der Wewerka Pavillon ein offenes, wertvolles Forum in dem sich Kunst und Kunstinteressierte auf ungezwungene Weise begegnen.
„Malerei“ ist der Titel einer seit 2004 laufenden Ausstellungsreihe der Kunstakademie Münster, in der jährlich vier malerische Positionen von Studierenden vorgestellt werden. Gezeigt wird die Ausstellung außerhalb von Münster in wechselnden westfälischen Ausstellungshäusern mit Unterstützung des Landschaftsverbandes Westfalen-Lippe.
Ziel der Reihe ist es, das Medium der Malerei, wie es sich selbst immer wieder infrage stellt und auch erneuert, zu präsentieren. Es soll gezeigt werden, wie Malerei bei allem technischen Fortschritt der künstlerischen Medien einerseits über alle Diskussionen bei sich bleibt und zugleich an den zeitgenössischen Entwicklungen teilnimmt und daraus eine Zukunftsperspektive entwickelt. Zu jeder Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog (siehe unter Publikationen).
Jedes Jahr vergeben die Freunde der Kunstakademie Münster e. V. drei Förderpreise. Von den Klassenleitungen als besonders förderungswürdig nominierte Studierende präsentieren dazu in der Förderpreisausstellung, die in der Kunsthalle Münster stattfindet, ihre Werke.
Der Förderpreis wird von der Kulturstiftung der Westfälischen Provinzial Versicherung unterstützt. Mit der Auszeichnung verbindet sich ein Geldpreis von insgesamt 4.500 Euro. Eine externe Fachjury vergibt drei Förderungen, auf die die Gesamtsumme nach Ermessen der Jury (meist zu gleichen Teilen) verteilt wird.
Regelmäßige Klassenausstellungen sowie weitere künstlerische, kuratorische und wissenschaftliche Projekte sind essenzielle Bestandteile des Studiums an der Kunstakademie Münster. Diese Praxis ermöglicht es den Studierenden frühzeitig, ihre Arbeit einem interessierten Publikum zu präsentieren und sich dem öffentlichen Diskurs zu stellen.
Aktuelle Termine zu öffentlichen Ausstellungen und anderen Veranstaltungen finden Sie ständig aktualisiert im Bereich Termine und News. Einen Einblick in die vielfältigen Aktivitäten der Kunstakademie Münster geben auch die Jahrbücher und weitere Publikationen der Hochschule.
