Urban Art! Biennial 2019

The world's most important exhibition of Urban Art--presented for the fifth time in 2019. Its themes are the city and urban lifestyle; its canvases are walls, doors, or windows; its artists are cosmopolitan. Since the turn of the millennium, Urban Art has developed out of the non-commercial, often illegal art forms of graffiti and street art. Although it makes use of the same stylistic means--spraying, tagging, the deliberate inclusion of drips, the use of graffiti scripts, etc.--it transports these as commissioned works into the legal space of the museum, gallery, or architecture. The Urban Art Biennial at the World Cultural Heritage Site V lklinger H tte is the largest international exhibition of its kind. Fifty individual works and twenty-five installations by one hundred artists shed light on the latest developments and positions from Western metropolises, as well as from current hot spots around the globe.
