Paul Spengemann

© Nikolas Geier

Paul Spengemann (*1987) studied fine art and film at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg and Goldsmiths University of London. In 2017, he was awarded the Federal Prize for Art Students, the ART COLOGNE Award for NEW POSITIONS and, in 2018, the Columbus Sponsorship Award from the Association of German Art Clubs (ADKV). In 2024, Paul Spengemann was a scholarship holder at Casa Baldi (Villa Massimo) in Italy. His work focuses on exploring different imaging techniques, particularly in the field of moving images. He often uses virtual reality in his work as a means of visibility and participation, in the sense that, for example, a laser show is projected onto a building in a public space. His works have been shown worldwide in numerous exhibitions and film festivals, including Villa Massimo Rome, LOOP Barcelona, São Paulo International Short Film Festival, Goethe-Institut Mexico City, Wiener Art Foundation, SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT, Dortmunder Kunstverein e.V., Hamburger Kunsthalle and the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. 

Dorsten

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. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
