Seen here as an example image, “Connect” by Jana Marek combines architectural elements from two campus sites to create a new spatial effect. The spiral staircase in the Böttcher-Bau on the corner of Georgstraße/Straße der Nationen is the foundation. The pillars by the artist Stefan Nestler in the plaza in front of the Lecture Hall Building on Reichenhainer Straße complete the picture. -

The 2016 “Art and University” calendar lies freshly printed in the Unishop, ready for purchase. Eleven of the twelve calendar pages were created in the seminar “Fundamentals of Design Using Technical-Visual Media”, offered by the Centre for Teacher Training under the leadership of Dr. Anne Hamker. Students specializing in art education practiced and applied creative photography and image editing techniques. During the course of this exercise, impressive photographs as well as original combinations of art and architectural works of the TU Chemnitz were created. The best eleven images made it into the calendar.
These eleven images were joined by a photo featuring a rainbow over the university campus. TU graduate Thomas Mäder took this picture in October. It is among the most popular photos of the year on the TU Chemnitz Facebook page, receiving more than 300 thumbs up from viewers.
The “Art and University” calendar is available for purchase for 10.90 Euro in the TU Chemnitz Unishop in the Straße der Nationen 62, room 108 B. Open hours: Tuesday through Friday 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. to 13:30 p.m.
