From February 13 to 23, 2025, the Karlsruhe city center will become the stage for the graduate exhibition 25 Grad of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG). Around 30 graduates will present their final projects and make their works accessible to a broad public. The title 25 Grad [25 degrees] symbolizes the time of transition from graduation to professionalism.
The exhibition will open on February 13, 2025 at 5 p.m. on the first floor of the Postgalerie Karlsruhe with a vernissage that will encourage encounters between the graduates and the public and will form the starting point for a varied program. There will be a total of three exhibition venues: in addition to a former store space in the Postgalerie Karlsruhe where the opening is taking place, a free-standing space in Karlsruhe city center close to Marktplatz/market place (the space formerly known as Hallhuber store) will also be used, as well as the Badischer Kunstverein at Waldstraße 3 in the center of Karlsruhe. The three exhibition venues will be activated by a joint walk on the same evening of February 13. A varied program of screenings, colloquia and workshops throughout the duration of the exhibition invites visitors to enter into an exchange with the artists and designers. The finissage on February 23 will mark the end of the exhibition.
The exhibition once again demonstrates the interdisciplinary quality that characterizes studies at the HfG Karlsruhe. The works on display reflect the close collaboration between and within different disciplines and illustrate the extent to which students not only learn from their teachers, but also from each other and inspire each other. These influences, which transcend disciplinary boundaries, are presented in an accompanying magazine that provides an in-depth insight into the exhibitors’ working methods and processes.
Further information on the locations, exhibitors and program items can be found on the website www.hfg-karlsruhe.de and on the Instagram page of the graduate show at @grad.hfg.
