In September 2013 CityLeaks Urban Art Festival’s second edition turns Cologne into a large stage for contemporary urban art. Already in 2011 CityLeaks pioneered in realizing a whole lot of creative interventions within the Cologne public space. With the help of more than 25 international and national artists artrmx e.V. and Colorrevolution e.V. laid the foundation to a large outdoor gallery. Driven by the motivation to reclaim space for artistic creation within the public realm as well as to make it accessible for everyone, the biennial festival goes into its second season from 2nd to 22nd September. Read and see more after the jump.
By way of a curation transcending both media and genre, CityLeaks Festival 2013 features an exceptionally vast array of artistic positions, genres, and styles. More than 30 representatives of the fine, performing, and applied arts are invited to Cologne this year in order to make use of the city space as their canvas or stage as well as to extended the existent outdoor gallery by creating new, exciting artworks within the entire urban area of Cologne.
Under the title I’m Still Here – Being Public Indoors the subject of urbanity is negotiated on multiple levels in a single, central indoor exhibition in Ehrenfeld. Apart from numerous film screenings, guided tours, music events, and a symposium, this year’s CityLeaks communications and event programme also features a whole variety of opportunities for interaction just as much as artist talks and urban art workshops.
