An exhibition by students of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) at the Art Collections of Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). Upon entering the Campus of Ruhr University Bochum, it seems like a maze - a city within a city. It's a modern place of post-war architecture that, at its center, between concrete and art-in-architecture, houses the Art Collections of Ruhr University Bochum. In the exhibition Post Grounds, students of the KHM enter into a dialogue with many of the works from these collections. Coming from the urban stage seminar, led by Prof. Mischa Kuball (Public Art), they bring their own artistic positions to the collections of the RUB, entering into a dialogue with its exhibits. The participants view the collections as a living, breathing space where past and future come together. The exhibit grants insights to places that are easily overlooked and with performances, works in public spaces and interventions within the collections, tries to relate them to the rest of the campus. Thematically, the works range from thoughts on the physicality of bodies, to architectural violence and to questions of remembering. The Art Collections, places of art historical theory and museological praxis, are dynamically enhanced by the multifaceted views of the students.
