Anne Marx, studio.blumenspiess & Atidh Jonas Langbein

Anne Marx works as a freelance artist specializing in performative textile design. In her own work, she highlights social phenomena and potential, questions conventional production techniques, and challenges established practices. By experimenting with combinations of materials and methods, she designs wearable items, objects, and spaces that promote the sustainable use and appreciation of textile materials. An important aspect of her projects is to encourage collaboration and community.

studio.blumenspiess sees itself as a hybrid intermediary that works and conducts research at the intersection of architecture, scenography, art, performance, and agriculture. Born out of a crisis of identity within its own discipline, the studio seeks to expand spatial practice and production. An ongoing, curated polyphonic dialogue plays a decisive role in asking questions and considering new perspectives. For studio.blumenspiess, space arises from relations - not the other way around. Relations and the relational work they entail, form the foundation of the practice and are acknowledged as an essential, yet often invisible, part of their work. Instead of formulating ready-made solutions, the focus is on joint questioning in dialogue: thinking and learning in relationships. Spaces in which relationships arise that illustrate the connection between people and the environment and promote belonging and mutual responsibility.

Atidh Jonas Langbein is spatial strategist, artist and planner and engages in diverse constellations with public space and its human and non-human inhabitants. After studying architecture in Munich, Bangkok, and Delft, he turned his attention away from fixed, built spaces and toward larger urban and landscape spaces. From 2020 to 2024, he taught and conducted research at the Chair of Landscape Architecture and Planning at the Bauhaus University Weimar, while also developing projects at the intersection of art, architecture, and socioculture in diverse, mutually influential, and, in Anna Tsings‘ sense, contaminating constellations.
