ISU Kassel invites motivated and qualified students or graduates to join the programme. Students with a particular interest in art, documenta, curating, and/or German culture are very welcome to participate in the programme.
The "documenta" in Kassel is one of the most important and well-known modern art exhibitions in the world. Since the beginning in 1953, it has grown continuously and can be experienced not only in museums and art halls but also in many places throughout the city, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. In 2017, more than one million visitors came to North Hesse. The University of Kassel offers interested students and graduates, especially from the areas of Fine Art and Cultural Sciences, the chance to get involved with the theory and practice of documenta and to learn about its history up to now. “Inside Arts” offers insight on how to curate an exhibition of this dimension – from pre-planning to the management of the documenta, including international marketing. We will visit the documenta archive, art galleries, and museums exhibiting documenta art.
The course offers an additional trip to Berlin, where you can experience street art, which Berlin is famous for, including the East Side Gallery – the longest remaining part of the Berlin wall painted with graffiti art.
If you chose the two-week course, you can continue with a seminar in Venice at the University Ca‘ Foscari on the topic of the “Biennale” art exhibition in Venice.

Welcome to "boom town" Kassel: it combines urban culture and pure nature – there are museums, art, culture, sports, leisure activities, mountains, lakes, and forests as far as the eye can see. At the same time, Kassel is well-connected to Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and the Rhine and Ruhr regions. Kassel is home to approximately 200,000 people and looks back on more than a thousand years of history as the former capital of "Hessen-Kassel". Today Kassel is a vibrant, young town with a rich heritage.
