Rundgang 2020: annual student exhibition

Once again, the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design (ABK Stuttgart) is hosting the annual Rundgang—a diverse exhibition of the students’ most recent projects and assignments. This year’s Rundgang is taking place online from July 17 to 19, in a new, digital format.

As the doors of the Campus Weißenhof must remain closed due to the current situation, the students’ work will be presented on the interactive online platform rundgang.abk.live. Performances, artistic experiments, film and seminar projects from the departments of Architecture, Art, Design and Art History – Conservation can be seen via galleries, livestreams and 360 degree videos and will form a virtual exhibition beyond the limits of the campus. Only the windows of the Academy will provide exhibition space for works of art at the ABK.

In addition to this, residents of the Stuttgart area can explore further select locations that will accommodate student projects and make up the decentralised part of the exhibition. Students will present their work in shops, cafés, state institutions and even on their own balconies.

The official opening of the event is taking place on Friday, July 17 at 6pm on the Rundgang website rundgang.abk.live. This will encompass not only the virtual exhibition but also a wide offer of live tours, award ceremonies, speeches and much more. As usual, there will be merchandise available on the online shop.

The annual Rundgang is the highlight of the year, not only for the students but also professors and university staff of the ABK Stuttgart, who all work towards creating a unique and multidimensional exhibition for the visitors. This year, the Rundgang is focussed on digital content, making it more accessible than ever. Visitors from all over the world are invited to tune in and experience what the university has to offer, all from their own personal screens.
