Inauguration of the mural ‘Papyrus’

A vibrant campus also features art in unexpected places and music at lunchtime. On Thursday 19 November, we will be combining both at the unveiling of the ‘Papyrus’ mural in the Central Lecture Theatre Building (ZGH) on the BTU’s main campus.  All university staff and students are warmly invited to hear more about the mural and the ideas behind it from the artist, Prof. Issel, the BTU president, Prof. Grande, and the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Urban Planning, Prof. Claus. A live DJ and the Papyrus guestbook invite you to wind down your lunch break together.

The artist, Prof. Verena Issel, heads the chair for Fine Arts  at the BTU.
Her artwork reinterprets the ancient papyrus plant – the symbol of the beginning of the written transmission of knowledge – in a humorous, comic-style visual language. 
It provides a colourful contrast to the functional architecture of everyday student and working life, and serves as a reminder of how important creative freedom and organic thinking are at the University of Technology.
