The cooperation creates a platform that connects different ways of thinking and disciplines. Its aim is to build a bridge between art and business and to demonstrate how creative thinking can foster innovation. At the same time, it offers participating HBKsaar students the opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial activities and to market their art within this context.
The exhibition opens with two study program projects that are part of the renowned HBKsaar Rundgang 2025:
“The Other Photograph” – an exhibition that opens up new perspectives on the artistic use of photography.
“Material Lab goes Innovation Center” – a presentation focusing on innovative material concepts.
The exhibition was officially opened last week as part of the “Start-up Now” founders’ meetup at the Innovation Center. Numerous people interested in starting a business, startup teams, students, and entrepreneurs took the opportunity to network and exchange ideas.
The exhibition is open to visitors Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free admission at the Innovation Center of Saarland University.
“Art of Innovation” will become a permanent component of the Innovation Center’s activities in the future. In addition to visual arts, musical formats are also conceivable, using art creatively as a driver of innovation and a source of inspiration.
