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. 

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
