Zu Gast in the Past

The Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr programme is aimed at artists and collectives interested in working in the Ruhr region and in a contemporary perspective on the region and its themes.

It offers the opportunity to develop a situation-specific project during a three-month research residency, which is presented in a curated exhibition the following year. Every year, two places are awarded in cooperation with the Stiftung Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets and the Stiftung Industriedenkmalpflege und Geschichtskultur, as well as two residencies for artists with a focus on performance.

Dorsten

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. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
