Zu Gast
Jahrgang 2023

In 2023, Urbane Künste Ruhr continued the residency programme Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr with four cooperation partners for the fifth year: The Ukrainian artist Natalia Dyachenko lived in Mülheim an der Ruhr for six months as part of the cooperation with the artist and studio centre Makroscope.

From April 2023, the artists Johanna Gonschorek and Nicoleta Moise conduced research in the archive for three months as part of the cooperation with the Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets.

In addition, we were able to extend the already existing residencies for the Ukrainian artists Lubov Malikova and Yuri Yefanov for another six and twelve months. Lubov Malikova lived in Essen as a resident in the framework of the cooperation with KunstVereinenRuhr, Yuri Yefanov was on location in Bochum as a scholarship holder of Urbane Künste Ruhr and Kunstmuseum Bochum.

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
