KUNSTLABOR - URBAN ART PROJECT BY MUCA MUNICH

News in the West of Munich – 50 local and international artists have artistically reinterpreted 5,000 square meters of interior and exterior space at Landsberger Strasse. In the absence of the public and hidden behind the façade of the former Tengelmann headquarters in Landsbergerstrasse 350, artists of urban and contemporary art have been working for several months on their individual „spatial experiments“. The numerous relics of the former office complex serve as inspiration and backdrop for their works; mouse-grey wallpapers became canvases, files turned into sculptures, and office cabinets into installations – spray painted, drawn, hammered and artistically realized on several floors. With the friendly support of AXA IM – Real Assets and the real estate developer FOM Real Estate, who had presented the project to the Munich based Urban Art Museum MUCA before the planned conversion, the KUNSTLABOR was created over many months. Now the KUNSTLABOR and its artists are ready to present themselves and take visitors on a voyage of discovery through this unique art project from 13 October before the building gives way to a new development.

About MUCA

We believe that art has the potential to change the perception on the world. It is our goal to provide space for such a young and transient form of art, in which street and urban art engage in a dialogue with other genres of contemporary art, establishing an atmosphere of synergy, inspiration and creative openess. As the place to be for urban and contemporary art lovers, MUCA offers a high- profile exhibition program. On several “art experience levels” art works of renowned, internationally celebrated artists can be found throughout the museum. In addition to that MUCA provides a platform for experimental formats and outstanding in- and outdoor art projects.
