TORBEN KÖRSCHKES, Germany
lecturer I researcher I spatial designer
is a research assistant and PhD candidate at Technical University Berlin and HAW Hamburg. He studied design at Folkwang UdK and HFBK Hamburg. With Ina Römling he founded the design and research collective HEFT. Since 2016, HEFT has been working on socio-spatial issue through spatial designs, workshops, archives, exhibitions, research trips. Fundings include Zukunftsstipendium (2021), Elbkulturfonds (2020), Bibliothek Andreas Züst (2019), Spiegel Online Social Design Award (2018).
The idea of a network exchanging questions of spatiality from the perspective of artistic research seems crucial for keeping a practice vibrant. He continually tries to widen his perception of what questions concerning "the spatial" mean for different disciplines and maybe develop a poetic vocabulary for an already existing physical-virtual future.
