Offered jointly by CENTQUATRE (Paris) and PACT Zollverein (Essen), the program Feldstärke International provides the opportunity to arts students from all disciplines (design, dance, cinema, circus arts, landscape art, visual and plastic arts, music, video, theatre, numeric arts), to work in closer collaboration.
The program is hosted for one week at each of the partners’ venues: at CENTQUATRE, at PACT Zollverein and finally at a third partner’s venue, which changes every year. For its first year, Feldstärke International invited the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Los Angeles to join the program. Thus, Feldstärke International 2009 brought together 49 students: 20 from German schools, 18 from French schools and 10 from CalArts.

Lapin! (Group 2)

 There are two worlds, one above and the other hidden below.  The verticality and opposition that connects these worlds is linked by the earth in between.

The things we found today



Walking around the PACT and just being curious, and finding things : rusty abandonned objects, parts of machines which don't work anymore. Things remaining from the past, from the Antic Times, when the chocolate factory which recently turned into PACT was still running ; when the whole area was surrounded by water ; when people were still speaking ancient greek, and had to make their daily chocolate-working lives into sea-side fishing lives.
We learnt a lot about History today.
