The transdisciplinary symposium brings together numerous experts from a wide range of disciplines from the Kunsthochschule and the University of Kassel, as well as international guests. In lectures and discussion rounds, diverse aspects and questions of exhibiting, current theories and approaches will be examined. We understand exhibiting not only as a mere presentation of artworks, but as a comprehensive cultural practice that reflects the connection between artists, curators, audience and society.
