Room to Expand is a framework supporting performative and time based art at the UdK. It encourages the participants to critically examine the common notion of art, and to renegotiate authorship, exhibition in space, art production and reception. Students and teachers from different classes, faculties and institutes create interdisciplinary projects. The third edition of Room to Expand included UdK Winter Kino: a screening of student films in Hardenbergstraße 33 on February 8, and Elastic Dogmas: A Presentation of Transdisciplinary Positions which took place in Kunstraum Kreuzberg on February 14-16.  

Elastic Dogmas presents artworks that explore questions about human and technological (co-)existence in today‘s world. Conventional boundaries of art categories are challenged in the exhibition through the use of new media, performance, and collaborative processes. Elastic Dogmas is a fusion of material and virtual realms, and a reaching for what is beyond, where spectres are revived, the souls of computers are channeled, and new relational threads woven.

Die in Elastic Dogmas präsentierten Kunstwerke widmen sich Fragen zur menschlichen und technologischen Existenz und Koexistenz. In der Ausstellung werden konventionelle Grenzen künstlerischer Kategorien durch den Einsatz von neuen Medien, Performance und kollaborativen Praktiken in Frage gestellt.
