A resounding success: the “Schau an!” art exhibition showcases student works in the Altes Waschhaus
An exhibition at the Altes Waschhaus in Tübingen marked an arts-focused start of the semester and provided recognition for student works.
The arts courses offered by the Transdisciplinary Course Program (TCP) are no different from regular seminars: the work produced at the end of the course is often only seen by the participants and lecturers. Yet the ideas and creations can be worthy of discussion and well worth seeing!
We are therefore delighted that, for the first time, a public exhibition of selected student artworks has been held in the café of the Altes Waschhaus. Under the motto “Look at that!” ("Schau an!"), works from a figure drawing and a ceramics course were on display there in October 2025. But that's not all: the exhibition was also curated by students, who made the artworks accessible and their meaning more tangible.
This allowed visitors to Tübingen as well as interested students to view the works on display and engage in discussion about them. The accompanying literary program, which included the winner's reading from a student writing competition and the release reading of the new student literary magazine “Bodensatz,” also contributed to a successful arts-focused start to the semester.
Our thanks go to artist and TCP lecturer Stephanie Binding, who led all the participating courses, inspired the students, and contributed greatly to the success of the exhibition through her tremendous commitment. We would also like to thank Studio Literatur und Theater for connecting us to the student world of literature, without which this accompanying program would not have been possible. In this context, we would also like to thank Bodensatz and Ira Maiwald for their ideas and commitment. Many thanks also to Kosmos e. V., which runs the café in the Altes Waschhaus and whose cooperation made this exhibition possible.
And last but not least, a huge thank you to all the students involved who made their works available and whose commitment to curating the exhibition made it a resounding success!
