Hamburg

This weekend the awesome project „Betriebsausflug“ 2012 will come to an end – but fortunatelay only in Leipzig! The tour will continue in Hamburg at the end of May.The „Betriebsausflug“ is an exchange project between several artist networks and creative spaces in Hamburg and Leipzig. More than 250 artists from Hamburg migrate for some weeks to Leipzig and participate in great exhibitions at several interesting off-spaces all over the city.
The city of Leipzig is full of free and cheap spaces for artists – still – in the opposite to Hamburg, where the well-known Gentrification-processes has nearly eliminated such spaces. Therefore the exchange will carve out the differences of the citiy spaces, the different atmosphere of the two cities, the different living and working conditions, the effort of the artists in both cities to survive and to co-create the cities. The project is an experiment and a platform for discussions, reflexion and research.

One of the creative locations and participating projects is the IBUg Betriebssystem LE-HH feat. Stuka, Verstyler, Zonenkinder, Christian Rug, Leif Lobinsky, Threehouse, dial, Zone56, Flamat, Gab, Jolly Fellow und co, Rebelzer, Los Priatoz, Maxi Kretzschmar, Tshunc, Help, Tasek, Simo, Kim-Fabian von Dall´Armi.
