About

An international art project will bring  together the renowned Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Germany – one of the largest and most acoustically advanced concert halls in the world, BTK University of Art & Design – University of Applied Sciences Europe,  Campus in Hamburg and students from School of Art, Design and Media, (ADM) Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU). Students from both universities will create content for two site-specific locations: one being MAN NTU Singapore (with the theme of passing) and one Elphi Hamburg (with the theme of music). NTU ADM students will create works for Hamburg with 26th of November 2018 confirmed as Hamburg premiere and the BTK students will develop works for MAN NTU from March to June 2018 with the premier slated to be held at the MAN NTU Singapore.on the 30th of November.  The locations cannot be more radically different in both the architecture of the space as well as geographically, culturally, and historically. The Elbphilharmonie is located on the Elbe river and harbor island Grasbrook. The City of Hamburg has built a new concert hall on top of the historic Sandtorhafen, Hamburg’s biggest warehouse on the water, built in 1875. Destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt and renamed Kaispeicher. ^[2] MAN NTU is located in the urban and busy passageway at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
