UNI KUM 2024!

It's that time again!  Kunsthaus Graz in cooperation with Haus der Architektur (HDA) and Camera Austria invite you again to the student day ‘UNI KUM!’ on 15 November 2024.

This year, the student day will take place immediately after the opening of the exhibition Poetics of Power and as part of the two-day conference Entanglements. The Politics of Aesthetics and Retelling of Modernisms and Modern Art on 15 and 16 November 2024.

Experts, researchers, theorists, artists and curators from a broad international environment will present and invite discussion.

For those who prefer something less specialised and simply want to get to know the Kunsthaus Graz, we also offer tours of the architecture at the Kunsthaus and at our neighbours Camera Austria and Haus der Architektur. Of course, there will also be time to chat and catch up - in Space03 with free punch.

Exhibition tour: Poetics of Power (in German)
