Earth building by Martin Rauch | Excursion
Saturday, November 27, 9.30 am – 12.30 pm
For her exhibition at KUB, Nigerian-born artist Otobong Nkanga worked closely with Vorarlberg clay construction expert Martin Rauch. What they have in common is an interest in clay and in the relationships between people, the environment, and history. Clay has been used as an ecologically valuable building material for thousands of years. Clay building pioneer Martin Rauch will use regional and international project examples to show how we can build sustainably with clay. As a highlight of the excursion we will visit the new ERDEN factory building in Schlins, production site for industrially prefabricated rammed earth elements and impressive example of their application in the commercial sector. In addition, Martin Rauch will talk about the exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz and the collaboration with artist Otobong Nkanga.
