Lisa Klosterkötter

Lisa Klosterkötter (born 1990) is an artist and curator, supporter and co-creator of socio-cultural spaces. Since 2014, she has been realising independent projects in exhibition spaces, institutions and public spaces, often focusing on immediate experience and embedding artistic works in an overarching, immersive narrative or thematic framework. Lisa Klosterkötter has led projects such as Über Brücken - Bridging (Cologne 2022-2024, co-curated with Elena Malzew), DOLLHOUSES (Hamburg 2021, Cologne 2023, artistic direction with Signe Raunkjaer Holm), Les Gardiennes, Kunstmuseum Bochum (2022/23), Das öde Haus, Centre for Literature (Münster 2024, artistic direction with Rosanna Graf), AIC ON - Das sogenannte Draußen (Cologne 2023, 2024) and Gegenwart: Doing Youth (Hamburg 2020/21, co-curated with Elena Malzew). In the summer of 2023, she collaborated with Paula Erstmann on the neighbourhood project Temporary Kitchen in the Mauritiusviertel (Cologne 2023), which involved various events with the Temporary Gallery's mobile kitchen in public spaces. In 2024, she curated the participatory exhibition Blue Binding Ribbon at the Temporary Gallery together with Aneta Rostkowska. Lisa Klosterkötter completed her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg in 2017.

Xanten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
