Art Projects

Curatorial Work

The art industry and museum landscape are constantly changing. Undeniably, there is a big gap between the art theory taught in universities and the practice of the new commercialized, digitalized and globalized art world. Cultural institutions need to adapt to a new and informed generation of visitors and students to survive and strive, to collect, protect, preserve, research and fulfill their educational responsibility to the public while also supporting young emerging artists.

I am here to help bring people together, to close the gap between passionate individuals and big art and education institutions, to mediate between cultures, translate, organize, motivate and inspire.

Have a look at my projects and feel free to contact me with any ideas!

I am an active member of the Open Draw Art Collective, which is a group of young professionals offering an open, creative, inspiring art session and co-working meeting twice a month, as well as several art workshops and projects.

We are regularly meeting twice a month, on mondays from 6 to 10 pm, in  Offenes Wohnzimmer Wilde 13  Waldenserstraße 13, 10551 Moabit, Berlin. Suggested donation for materials and rent for each session: 5€

If you are interested in attending a workshop, be part of a project or just doodle around and get inspired at one of our creative get-togethers, shoot me an e-mail to corinna.egdorf [at]gmail.com.

The Open Draw Art Collective was founded by students of the Institut für Kulturwissenschaft of the Humboldt-University of Berlin in 2014.  As students of theoretical, cultural history and philosophy we saw the need for more colors and practical approaches. Next to giving creative minds and spirits a time and space to try out new and old art techniques, we also offer workshops led by experts. Our workshops include – but aren’t limited to – creative writing, jewellery design, papier maché decoration, hands-on canvas creations, photography/cyanotype, marbled milk paper, dream catchers, upcycling projects, body painting, performances… We also do themed festival decorations and parade floats.
