Rundgang 2025: Opening speech by Bjørn Melhus

The speech by Prof. Bjørn Melhus on the occasion of the opening of the Kunsthochschule Kassel's Rundgang 2025 on 24.07.25 was published on the website "Monopol", the magazine for art and life.

Artist and professor Bjørn Melhus believes that the upcoming budget cuts (University Pact 2026-2031) pose an existential threat to the Kunsthochschule Kassel. In his article "We have nothing more to give", he pleads for more autonomy and a turnaround in culture.

The Rundgang 2025 (July 24 to 27) was conceived and realized by an interdisciplinary team of students under the direction of Prof. Bjørn Melhus (Class for Virtual Realities).
