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.

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
