Info

Geschichte

A decade ago, the former Sommerakademie im Zentrum Paul Klee introduced a landmark educational template that is now being reinvented by the reestablished Sommerakademie Paul Klee.

Sommerakademie Paul Klee’s new concept is based on a close cooperation between the Bern University of the Arts HKB and the Zentrum Paul Klee, along with other private and public partners. Tirdad Zolghadr is director of the new Sommerakademie and curator of the first two-year cycle (2017-19).

The new program builds on the summer retreats of the former Sommerakademie, while proposing a more complex blend of theory and practice, discourse and production.

Foundations are now being laid for the “Association Sommerakademie Paul Klee” consisting of the Bern University of Applied Sciences (represented by the Bern University of the Arts HKB), and the Zentrum Paul Klee.
