Jahrgang 2022

© Daniel Sadrowski

In 2022, Urbane Künste Ruhr invited a total of 15 international artists to live and work in the Ruhr region for the 4th time. The loose, thematic bracket for the residency programme was called "Future".

The cooperation with KunstVereineRuhr, an association of various art associations and artists' residencies that has existed since the start of the programme, was continued. The Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets in Bochum and the Halfmannshof in Gelsenkirchen also once again opened their doors to two artists each. New additions are the collaborations with the Makroscope - Centre for Art and Technology in Mülheim an der Ruhr and with the Kunstmuseum Bochum.

Anna Haifisch (*1986 in Zwenkau) ist Zeichnerin und Künstlerin, deren Arbeiten im Museum sowie in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften gleichermaßen zu sehen sind, ihre Comics wie The Artist erscheinen in mehreren Sprachen. Ob das vogelartige Wesen, das davon träumt, Künstler*in zu werden, oder Schappi — ihre Figuren sind vom Tierreich inspiriert und interessieren sich auf eigensinnige Art für die Kunstwelt. Allerdings ist der Humor zutiefst menschlich, mit dem Haifisch ein erzählerisches Universum entwickelt, das den Betrieb, seine Sehnsüchte und Absurditäten durchleuchtet. Dafür verbindet sie visuelle und erzählerische Elemente aus Design, Comic- und Kunstgeschichte. 

Die für die Grand Snail Tour gestaltete Decke Kleine orange Schnecke zeigt einen hundeartigen Charakter, der von einer Schnecke träumt. Dass die Decke erstmals für die Veranstaltung mit Anna Haifisch am Museum für Fotokopie in Dorsten im Grand Snail Trailer reiste, ist kein Zufall: Das Museum widmet sich einem Reproduktionsmedium, das Hochkultur und Alltagsgebrauch, Original und Vervielfältigung unauflöslich verknüpft – ein Spannungsfeld, das auch die Zeichnungen der Künstlerin bestimmt. Das textile Objekt gehört seither zur reisenden Sammlung der Grand Snail Tour: An kalten Tagen spendet sie als Decke Wärme, an warmen kann sie überall und jederzeit im Freien ausgebreitet werden und erinnert dann daran, dass auch die langsamste Reise Pausen braucht.
