Through the central motif of the Goetheanum—uniting opposites and finding the power of the center—Rudolf Steiner brought to light a key capacity for the future. In both anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner’s art and architecture, polarities and their unification through a middle realm play a central role. In an enigmatic way, these polarities also shape the design motifs for the first and second Goetheanum, as well as their centerpiece, the wooden statue of the Representative of Humanity.
What is the secret behind this building motif, and why was it so important to Rudolf Steiner that he wanted visitors to be able to experience it with their senses? We will explore this question through modelling and movement exercises, as well as stimulating presentations.
Participating artists are cordially invited to bring one or two of their own works, especially those with a special relationship to the conference theme. When you register, please let us know how many works you would like to bring and in what format.
