A Return to Roots - Reinvigorating within the Art Historical Discourse. Following a fourteen-year hiatus, the HALLENKUNST project returns to its birthplace, Chemnitz. This iteration marks a significant moment, not only for the project and the curator itself but also for the evolving conversation surrounding illegalized art and its position within the art historical narrative.

 

HALLENKUNST serves as a portal to a vibrant artistic universe, drawing inspiration from the multifaceted world of street art, urban culture, and the enduring legacy of graffiti.  Emerging from the streets of New York City, graffiti and its subsequent iterations as street art have become one of the most influential artistic subcultures of the past half-century. Notably, these forms of expression transcend traditional boundaries, fostering a sense of accessibility and democratic participation within the artistic realm. The project itself embodies this commitment to inclusivity.
