EXHIBITION OPENING
__
In addition to the advanced music programme and a stimulating discourse programme, the upcoming festival edition with Elevate Arts will once again bring contemporary art to public spaces and selected locations.
__
The art installation "While..." by Studio Brauneis / Sebastian Brauneis reflects the 20th anniversary of the Elevate Festival in a precise and accessible way. A videographic "Stream of Consciousness" with the title "While..." artistically reviews the past 20 years of the festival. This video is complemented by an art installation that emphasises the cultural influence of Elevate, and a collage of images called "Chrono Canvas" illustrates the last 20 years of the festival day by day. The installation "Distant Memories" at Forum Stadtpark shows these elements simultaneously on several screens, which can only be viewed from a distance, and is complemented by interactive posters in public spaces that invite participation in the cultural exchange of the festival.
Exhibition: February 29 - March 3
