UdK's Rundgang 2025: A Three-Day Celebration of Artistic Diversity
Prepare for an artistic extravaganza as the Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK) gears up for its annual student exhibition, Rundgang 2025. Taking place from July 18 to July 20, 2025, this three-day event promises to showcase the creative talents of UdK students across multiple departments and venues across the city.
Venues and Opening Times
The Sound Studies and Sonic Arts Department will be based at two locations: Lietzenburger Straße 45 and Bundesallee 1–12. The exhibition will run from 16:00–22:00 on Friday, 11:00–22:00 on Saturday, and 11:00–18:00 on Sunday. An afterparty will take place at Panke (Gerichtstr. 23, Hof V, 13347 Berlin) from 21:00 to 03:00 on Sunday.
Other participating departments, such as Fashion, will be spread across various UdK venues, with specific times yet to be detailed but generally open during the day and evening. For a comprehensive list of participating departments, venues, and opening times, visit the official Rundgang website.
Departments Participating
This year, the Sound Studies and Sonic Arts department is highlighted, featuring exhibitions and performances. The Fashion department is also participating, as announced on social media. Other departments typically include fine arts, design, music, stage design, and more. The Rundgang is known as a comprehensive presentation across all areas of study at the university.
A Unique Opportunity
The Rundgang offers a unique opportunity to see various disciplines and genres of student work, including never-before-exhibited pieces from students across various departments. This year marks the 50th anniversary of UdK's founding in 1975, making the event even more significant.
A Glimpse into the Future of Art
The Rundgang is not curated, allowing for a raw and unfiltered look at the artistic practices of UdK students. It provides a broad interdisciplinary perspective into the university’s creative fields. The Medienhaus, for instance, will present film and media projects created by students.
UdK: A Beacon of Artistic Excellence
As the largest art school in Europe, UdK has produced numerous renowned alumni, such as Alicja Kwade, who was first discovered at her degree show in 2004. However, the institution is currently facing significant funding cuts, leading to a hiring freeze and temporary staff replacements.
For full and detailed program information, including exact participating departments and venues across UdK, visit the official Rundgang website. This annual event is a must-visit for anyone interested in the vibrant and evolving world of art.
Partaking in the exhibition, both the Sound Studies and Sonic Arts Department, with its performances and exhibitions, and the Fashion department, as announced on social media, delve into the realms of education-and-self-development and lifestyle, providing a platform for students to showcase their creative talents. Visitors can look forward to immersing themselves in various disciplines and genres of student work, offering a glimpse into the future of art and reflecting the artistic diversity fostered at the Universität der Künste Berlin.
