Day at the Office
Having the opportunity to grow through and work for Muenchner Kuenstlerhaus while in Munich was nothing short of unbelievable. For a few months, I managed a team of a few people who worked on some advertising campaigns, set up some templates for mailers/posters/pamphlets/etc., and installed an original film piece through the Lithographie Studio in front of the Haus.
M. Kuenstlerhaus is one of the oldest non-profit organizations for the arts in Munich and was founded in 1800- originally across the street from a gallery space built out of glass. During WWII, the gallery space was destroyed but Kuenstlerhaus was left standing and continued on to act as a space for artists, intellectuals, & literary-types to convene, discuss, and bond. These days, they house a lot of musical events and rent out rooms of their historical Haus to those looking to throw a swanky event. I was lucky enough to one day climb through jungle gym of original attic beams and windows through a system of magical ladders and eventually out onto the roof. The view from atop the Haus was spectacular:
By day, the Haus was something to behold. By night, the Haus came alive. Most "days at the office" began around 9:00 p.m. and included attending and taking film footage of nightly events. Through Kuenstlerhaus, I was able to meet some of the most interesting artists working out of Munich today and enjoy working from within a global network. Here are some shots of my daily grind:
