Zu Gast
Jahrgang 2023

© Daniel Sadrowski

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.

Xanten

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.
