With “Spatial Dramaturgies,” the HfG Karlsruhe is launching a new lecture series that presents key artistic positions in the field of exhibition design and scenography. Each edition will be moderated by a professor from the Department of Exhibition Design and Scenography.

The motto of the series is based on a quote by writer Susan Sontag:
"All this could be put much more simply:
Time exists in order so that everything doesn't happen all at once,
and space exists so that it doesn't all happen to you."

The first event will take place on November 19, 2025, at 6 p.m. under the title “Space and Movement.” The guest speaker will be stage designer and performance artist Penelope Wehrli, who works at the intersection of space, performance, theater, and media art.

The event will be moderated by Prof. Constanze Fischbeck.
