With stadt.raum.experimente, local as well as internationally active artists are called upon to develop experimental and temporary concepts for the urban space of Düsseldorf. Whether installation, performance or participation, stadt.raum.experimente is open to unusual forms and experimental ideas. Successful artistic projects in public space are those that reflect the state and processes of change in the city and actively help shape future developments, for example with regard to sustainable aspects. Socially relevant topics can be taken up in the projects. The art contributions must be implemented in a freely accessible, public space and they should be as barrier-free as possible.
Projects must be related to or with added value for Düsseldorf’s urban community. The art contributions should be temporary.
