Kuratorinnen-Führung durch die Ausstellung 'ROM. ROM? ROM!'

To mark the 250th anniversary of the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 2023, artists from Dakić’s film and video class embarked for the first time on a real and imaginary journey to Rome, that place of longing, myth-making, and artistic renewal. The works created by students and alumni between Rome and Düsseldorf gave rise to a series of exhibitions (2023–2026) that unfolded as a journey—as an exhibition in motion. Using various artistic media, the participants—both individually and in groups—explored the themes of nature and culture within the context of a globalized world.

ROM. ROM? ROM! is conceived as an artistic research project, a structure of spatial and temporal overlaps that, through an engagement with historical references, opens up a new perspective on current issues and creates space for experimental, collaborative, and process-oriented working methods. The combination of further developments and new creations reflects the complexity of the participating artists—their ability to think in ways that permeate space and to continually reposition themselves. The research-based nature of the exhibition allows it to raise questions rather than provide answers.

No registration is required.
