Video Room
In March 2019 the Goetheanum opened up a room for videos about anthroposophical activities. François Croissant is in charge.
The western part of the first floor has been redesigned: the offices of former Executive Council members and a room formerly used for membership files were turned into meeting rooms and an exhibition and video space. This space features two cubes, each with four monitors that show a series of films in a loop. Each monitor is equipped with one set of headphones.
The first films shown in March were in connection with Waldorf 100, the centenary of Waldorf Education: several parallel films gave insight into Waldorf Schools across the world. This theme was followed, from August to the beginning of September, by glimpses into the work done by the students and teachers at the Visual Art School in Basel in preparation for the exhibition «Gesture of Colour/Nature of the Invisible/Plants and Colour». The films shown since mid-September include reflections on various anthroposophical activities, such as the renovation and painted ceiling of the Main Auditorium and more on Waldorf Education.
François Croissant, who is in charge of designing and maintaining the space, says that «other themes will be added in the future in order to illustrate, through films, the manifold activities of the Goetheanum as well as its history and that of the School of Spiritual Science.»
Visitors to the Goetheanum and conference attendees can use this space free of charge to learn more about applied anthroposophy or selected art exhibitions.
The Video Room is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
