A teahouse for Osnabrück - Studio Quack

Duration of the exhibition: 13.05. – 05.08.2023
Opening on Friday, 12.05.2023, 19 p.m.
curated by Jasmina Janoschka in collaboration with Friederike Fast and Wiebke Hahn

Studio Quack works at the intersection of art, design and architecture. Inspired by the theme of the year "Togetherness - The Dream of a New Community" With the exhibition project "A Teahouse for Osnabrück" they create a lively place for community gatherings and intercultural exchange.

The focus is on the ceremonial act of drinking tea, which has been the focus of social gatherings around the world for centuries. Equipped with tables and seating, the "Teehouse for Osnabrück" invites you to chat over a freshly brewed cup of tea. In addition to the social aspect of drinking tea, visitors to the exhibition can discover the production of tea themselves - from cultivation to drying to the process of preparation.

The tea house in the art space hase29 is deliberately not based on a specific tea culture, but instead offers space for different people and traditions to meet. With the help of videos and illustrative instructions, visitors are given an insight into various tea rituals and are also invited to add their own recipes. This openness is also reflected in the cubic wooden architecture specially developed for the art space.

In addition, the project will be expanded from the exhibition space into the public space. On guided tours through the city, herbs and plants are collected that can be used to make tea. In addition, the entrance area of ​​the art space itself becomes a tea herb garden, creating a new, green place to stay in the middle of the old town.

Based on an idea that came about in cooperation with Anke Leitzgen and Karl Michael Drohsel.

Studio Quack

Studio Quack (Jan-Philipp Neuer, Thomas Quack and Pauli Muszi) from Cologne rely on an interdisciplinary and collaborative way of working that combines art, architecture and design. Together with various partners, they realize temporary installations and interventions indoors and outdoors. In doing so, they react explicitly to the spatial and social structure of the respective location. Topics such as sustainability and the respectful use of traditional cultural techniques are just as important to them as collective experience.
