Exhibition | 7–9 February 2025, 10:00–20:00, Dürerstraße 10, 60596 & Daimlerstraße 32, 60314 Frankfurt am Main
The Hochschule für Bildende Künste–Städelschule opens its doors at the end of the winter semester for the Rundgang – an extensive program of open studios, talks, performances and film screenings. This year’s Rundgang will take place from Friday, February 7 to Sunday, February 9, 2025, daily from 10:00–20:00 at both locations of the Städelschule.
During the Rundgang, visitors can gain an insight into the artistic practice of students from the classes Monika Baer, Gerard Byrne, Cohabitation, Judith Hopf, Hassan Khan, Tobias Rehberger, Willem de Rooij and Haegue Yang. The students open their studios and present their current work at both Städelschule locations. In cooperation with the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum, film and video works by the students will also be shown in the museum’s movie theatre.
In addition, Rundgang offers a rich program of performances, readings, concerts and talks. Students of Curatorial Studies – Theory – History – Criticism, a study program in cooperation with the Goethe University Frankfurt, invite artists, curators and other art professionals to discuss current topics of contemporary art. Publications and editions by the Städelschule, Portikus and students are available for purchase in the library.
