At the end of the summer semester, the KHM will open its doors to the KHM OPEN 2022 from July 13 to 17, celebrating this year's graduation projects in particular. On display will be around thirty works by a total of around fifty graduating students who completed their studies in media arts in 2021/2022. Mixed media, sound and video installations, photographic works, performances as well as animations, experimental, documentary and feature films will be on display.
In addition, current works by students will be presented in open-space formats, and studios and labs will offer insights into artistic processes and seminar results.
 
The exhibition parcours focuses on the central KHM buildings with their studios and ateliers around Filzengraben 2, while the Matjö - Raum für Kunst of the BBK Köln (Mathiasstr. 15) and the Filmforum at the Museum Ludwig (Bischofsgartenstr. 1) serve as external venues.

A total of 13 diploma films will be presented in the film program. They are feature films, documentaries, animations and experimental films of different lengths, which will be shown from Thursday to Saturday (each at 2 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.) in the auditorium of the KHM. On Sunday, the short and medium-length diploma films will be presented again in the Filmforum at the Museum Ludwig in two program blocks at 4:30 pm and 7 pm.
The directors, authors and image designers will be present and, after the screening of their films, will provide insight into the process of creating their final projects.

 
The KHM OPEN is an ideal opportunity for prospective students to get to know the KHM, its study opportunities, its atmosphere and, above all, exemplary works and students themselves. On Thursday, July 14, and Saturday, July 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Infopoint (Mensacafé, Filzengraben 2), there will also be a student advisory service.

We cordially invite you to the opening of the KHM OPEN 2022 by the Rector of the KHM, Prof. Mathias Antlfinger, on Wednesday, July 13, 6 p.m., Aula of the KHM (Filzengraben 2, 50676 Cologne).
 
We all hope for nice weather and many visitors!
