Professor Beate Mohr serves as Professor of Artistic Fundamentals at the University of Fine Arts Saarland (HBK Saar), where she has taught since 2009. She co-leads the Studio for Artistic Fundamentals with Ralf Werner, which all undergraduate students complete during their first semester. Previously, she held positions as Visiting Professor of Artistic Publishing (2004-2006) and Artistic Assistant for Artistic Publishing (2001-2004) at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. Her research centers on the intersection of fine art and visual communication design, with particular focus on conceptual approaches to everyday phenomena, text-image-meaning relationships, and material studies. Through her studio practice, she emphasizes interdisciplinary exploration where students experience, analyze, and vary seeing, perception, and implementation processes. Her methodology explores the dynamic relationship between intention and conception in artistic practice, where thinking changes doing and doing changes thinking in return. Professor Mohr's artistic output manifests in drawings, objects, and publications that investigate visual language, material transformation, and conceptual frameworks. Her recent works include 'Lamp Ladder' (2022), 'AL(L IN) ONE' (2021), and 'Part of all' (2020), alongside numerous limited editions and artist books since 2004. She has presented her work at institutions including Museum Weserburg Bremen, Museum St. Wendel, and Zürich University of the Arts. Her teaching philosophy is grounded in the conviction that there is no qualitative difference in seeing, perceiving, or thinking whether working as a designer or artist—they both draw from the same artistic fundamentals but with radically different intentions. Design deliberately shapes our everyday life, while art reflects the creator's existential conditions without functional constraints. The Studio for Artistic Fundamentals provides space for experiments, discoveries, and surprises where students develop their artistic stance through reflection on material, form, body, color, and media. Professor Mohr has delivered numerous lectures and workshops internationally, including 'Traumstadt' urban planning workshops in Hamburg since 2010, 'materialien' at Zurich University of the Arts (2007), and presentations on photographic artist books at Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts (2010). Her publications include both artistic works and theoretical explorations of student publishing models.

Leonardo Michele Scarinzi is a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, where he has taught Foundry and Molding Techniques since 1995. He works as a freelance artist based in Foggia, specializing in transcendental sculpture that explores the spiritual dimension of human essence. His distinctive artistic style features gaunt human figures that evoke monks or hermits, stripped of materiality to emphasize meditative and transcendent qualities. Scarinzi's artistic research delves into the depths of human essence, seeking a spiritual dimension where humanity can ascend toward infinity. His sculptures, often created in bronze (a material he masters as an expert caster), present a gaunt human figure that art critic Angelo Panerai describes as 'made of skin and bones, like a gaunt, malnourished, sickly woman.' This approach moves beyond classical Greek forms, medieval symbolism, and modernist fragmentation to explore an 'alien yet always ideal beauty' that reduces humanity 'to the spirit,' requiring 'a certain imponderability.' As an educator, Scarinzi teaches two key courses: Foundry Techniques (ABAV10) and Forming, Technology and Type of Materials (ABAV8), both within the Sculpture program. His teaching philosophy emphasizes direct physical engagement with materials as 'opportunities for cultural expression, as knowledge, as an awareness of one's social role, as a highly educational function, and even as a way of being.' Scarinzi has participated in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad and has created several public works. His technical expertise spans various molding techniques including tile molding, gelatin molding, synthetic rubber molding, and disposable molding, as well as casting processes such as lost-wax casting, pressure casting, cuttlebone casting, and centrifugal casting.

PD Dr. Uwe Durst is a Lecturer in Literary Studies at the Institute for Speech and Communication Pedagogy, State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, specializing in literary theory and fantastic literature. His academic career spans over two decades with appointments at the University of Stuttgart, University of Kassel, and Musikhochschule Stuttgart. Education Master of Arts in General and Comparative Literature and Art History (University of Stuttgart/Saarland University, 1996) PhD in Literary Theory (University of Stuttgart, 1999) Habilitation: The Limited Marvelous: On the Theory of Marvelous Episodes in Realistic Narrative Texts (University of Stuttgart, 2008) Dr. Durst's research focuses on the theoretical frameworks of fantastic literature, magic realism, and narrative structures. His work bridges literary theory with media studies, examining how reality-systemic structures operate across traditional and contemporary media. He has pioneered analysis of parahistorical literature and alienation techniques in narrative sequences. His publications reveal consistent engagement with interdisciplinary approaches, connecting literary theory to television studies (e.g., The Sopranos analysis) and advertising semiotics. The trajectory shows increasing integration of media studies with traditional literary analysis. Scientific Awards Hans-Bernhard-Schiff-Preis der Stadt Saarbrücken (2024) Vincent Preis for Best Horror Anthology (2024) Preisträger der Freunde der Universität Stuttgart (1996) Essay-Wettbewerb des Landes Baden-Württemberg (1999) Dr. Durst has secured multiple research grants including DFG funding (2003-2006) and Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg support (2002). He co-organized the interdisciplinary conference The Marvelous: Dimensions of a Phenomenon in Art and Culture (2015) and co-edited the resulting publication (2018). His creative writing complements his academic work, with three published horror story collections that demonstrate practical application of his theoretical frameworks. As a founding member of the Gesellschaft für Fantastikforschung (2010), he has shaped institutional frameworks for fantastic literature studies while maintaining active peer review roles for the Zeitschrift für Fantastikforschung .

Professor Bernd Sures is affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen, where he serves in the Faculty of Biology, Department of Aquatic Ecology. His research primarily focuses on aquatic ecosystems, parasite-host interactions, and environmental stressors affecting river systems. Professor Sures' research interests span several interconnected fields in aquatic ecology and environmental science. His work emphasizes parasitology in changing environments , particularly examining how parasites respond to and influence ecosystem degradation and recovery processes. He investigates river ecosystem dynamics under multiple stressors, with special attention to biodiversity patterns, species adaptation mechanisms, and community recovery trajectories. His research integrates field studies, experimental approaches using systems like AquaFlow and ExStream, and statistical modeling to understand complex ecological processes. As the speaker of Collaborative Research Center SFB 1439 "Degradation and recovery of river ecosystems under multiple pressures," Professor Sures leads a major research initiative examining how river ecosystems respond to various stressors including pollution, hydromorphological changes, and climate impacts like drought. His work has contributed to the development of the "Asymmetric Response Concept" (ARC), which explains differential importance of tolerance, dispersal, and biotic interactions during ecosystem degradation versus recovery phases. Professor Sures has secured significant research funding through the German Research Foundation (DFG), managing both collaborative research centers and individual projects. His current portfolio includes the Integrated Monitoring of Parasites in a Changing Environment (IMPACT) project, along with multiple sub-projects within SFB 1439 focusing on parasite ecology, research training, and project administration. His previous work has examined topics ranging from ICP-MS analytical methods for trace metals in biological matrices to the invasiveness of alien parasites and cryptic species coexistence in river ecosystems. Based at the University of Duisburg-Essen's Essen Campus, Professor Sures works within the Department of Aquatic Ecology, contributing to both research and academic training in freshwater ecology and environmental science. His research group appears to be actively involved in both fundamental ecological research and applied environmental monitoring approaches.
