Schallenberg will teach courses to both graduate and undergraduates.  The first will discuss “The Theory of Abstract Sculpture,” and the following courses will discuss “Abstract Sculpture in Public Spaces.  A Story of Rejections.”

A workshop is also being planned for 2017, including international guests.  This workshops, carried out in cooperation with the Städelschule (Fine Arts Academy) in Frankfurt, will also focus on sculptures in public spaces.  In addition, this theme fits very well with the exhibit of sculptures that is held every 10 years in Munich, Germany.
