Centrally located in the city centre of Kiel, »spce« | Muthesius forms a sounding board that picks up on impulses from the university from all areas of design, artistic and scientific research, reinforcing them interactively and opening them up to a local as well as (inter)national audience. »spce« creates a place that, in addition to its representative function, understands exhibiting quite specifically as a process-oriented research practice and uses curatorial means to design aesthetic-sensual spaces of experience and thought for a collective social discourse.
