Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

Lisbon: Count for Nothing

Exhibition Count for Nothing

Katrin Korfmann is inspired by people pursuing their daily lives in public spaces. By capturing, directing and manipulating these situations, she stages 'tableux vivants'. Placed in a frame, they gain an entirely new meaning.

She uses various media depending on the actual context: Installations in public spaces, photography, video and 'public interventions'.  Due to the situation, the spontaneous audience is merely spectator and/or active participator in the artwork. The involved parties can be object and voyeur at the same time, not necessarily conscious of their participation.Within these daily contexts she creates new 'virtual spaces'.

By changing or highlighting aspects of the given, mostly urban settings, she aims to provide a platform for the choreography of life.
