An Experimental Ecology. Art practice in the dialogue of disciplines at the UdK Berlin

To launch its anniversary year 2025, Berlin University of the Arts is celebrating the diversity of its disciplines with performances, installations, screenings and concerts from all colleges and centres. Artistic experiments across disciplinary boundaries will demonstrate the possibilities and potential for cooperation and collaboration that the university has been offering for over 50 years.

In 1975, the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste and the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst were merged into one institution - the Hochschule der Künste, later the Universität der Künste Berlin (University of the Arts Berlin). This foundation was more the political will of the state politicians of the time than a need for artistic co-operation between these two traditional institutions. In the past half century, the UdK Berlin has taken a path that leads from an externally imposed organisational structure of artistic education to a content-based structure with its own artistic formats - beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries.

In order to promote the potential of artistic cooperation, an open call was issued explicitly looking for projects involving at least two study programmes, colleges or centres of the UdK Berlin. The Berlin University of the Arts is pleased to present a selection of these exciting artistic experiments by students, teachers, staff and graduates to mark the start of the anniversary year.
