Zu Gast
Jahrgang 2019

The 2018/2019 residencies focused on artists whose work examines the relationship between identity and territorial ascriptions. Urbane Künste Ruhr investigated these themes in a range of formats in 2019.

The twelve month residencies were awarded to the artists Wasim Ghrioui (Syria) and Mohamed Altoum (Sudan). These residencies are associated with the Silent University Ruhr, a multilingual network of refugee academics supported by Ringlokschuppen Ruhr. Those active here have already been working for years on permitting the expertise of refugees in the region to be heard. The working base for these residencies was in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

The three month grants are linked to the KunstVereineRuhr. The guests were Stacey Gillian Abe (Uganda), Céline Berger (France), Jan Brokof (Germany), Achim Lengerer (Germany), Viola Relle and Raphael Weilguni (Hungary/Germany), Matshelane Xhakaza (South Africa), Paul Wiersbinski (Germany) and Katrin Winkler (Germany).

Hamminkeln

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.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
