UdK Rundgang 2026: Inside Berlin’s Young Art Scene
The UdK Rundgang 2026 in Berlin opened its university facilities for a weekend, enabling visitors to explore student studios, workshops, and live installations across multiple disciplines. The event showcased politically engaged work spanning sculpture, installation, and conceptual practice. Notable pieces included ceramic shopping bags by Sophia Lietsche that subverted luxury branding through material fragility, a salt-constructed German Bundestag by Alungoo Xatan interrogating capitalism’s systemic penetration, and plush toy installations by Rosa Witt critiquing societal pressure on childhood development. Additional works explored absurdism, surveillance, and psychological projection. The curatorial framing emphasised art’s inherent entanglement with social commentary and political critique, positioning the young Berlin scene as engaged with neo-Dadaist strategies of appropriation, material metaphor, and accessible entry points for contemporary audiences.
