For the digital Open Studios by the JUNGE AKADEMIE, artists Ada Mukhina, Nazanin Noori, Mia Sanchez, and Cássio Diniz Santiago present works-in-progress in artist talks and performances as well as silent insights into the studios. They present various research and stories they worked on at the Akademie der Künste spaces in the Hansaviertel this autumn/winter 2020.

The Akademie der Künste expands its digital offers, e.g.
a cinematic tour of the exhibition “urbainable – stadthaltig” and an online discussion concluding the show, a recorded discussion on Andres Veiel’s film Ökozid, a video presentation in memory of the composer Georg Katzer, as well as podcast series. Furthermore, the digital showcase digital.adk.de makes the extensive holdings of the Akademie's archives accessible. So pay us a visit online!

What does it mean to be “on-site” in times of the pandemic? This is a unifying question that runs through the 14th issue of the Journal der Künste. In this edition: a focus on the JUNGE AKADEMIE; a carte blanche for Péter Nádas; Mark Lammert on the consequences of the coronavirus; Hubertus von Amelunxen in conversation with Ferhat Bouda; Annesley Black, Kerstin Hensel, Elena Zieser and Gesine Bey on ON MY WAY – STORIES FROM EUROPE; and Stephan Suschke on Brecht probt Galilei, among other things.

The JUNGE AKADEMIE digital platform is now online. The transdisciplinary and transcultural online magazine is a space to exhibit and experiment and a digital open studio, offering fellows the opportunity to network with each other and with Akademie members, to develop digital projects and to make the exchange of knowledge visible within the international network.

From 2 Nov 2020, all events at the Akademie der Künste have temporarily been suspended due to corona conditions. The exhibitions, museums and reading rooms are closed. You are welcome to discover our digital offers in the meantime. We hope to see you again soon!
