At a backyard at Boppstraße in a district called Neustadt at Mainz, 'Work in progress' visits a new generation of artists. We come to see the art class of drawing in the branch office of the Kunsthochschule Mainz and spend the evening in their studio, a former animal food store.
We pass brightly painted and sticker cluttered doors and climb up the stairs to the top floor where we find ourselves in a vast studio. We take place at the large table and will stay until late at night. We notice a ping-pong table whose surface is perforated with several holes. It's a project of Philipp Jung and Simon Ertel that has been displayed during the last Rundgang in 2012. Apart from the joint colloquia, the thirteen students of the drawing class have their own working rhythm. We meet Simon Ertel, Philipp Jung, Ivana Matic and Claudia Schuh.
