VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE2015

It all kicks off on Saturday, May 23—the doors of the former “Hotel VierJahreszeiten” will open once again after 14 years, and ZUKUNFTSVISIONEN2015 will launch its ninth annual week of art and culture.

Following a champagne reception starting at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Arendt from the Saxon State Ministry of Science and the Arts will deliver a welcome address to the guests at around 8:00 p.m., representing patron Dr. Eva-Maria Stange. Afterward, the Adriano Celentano Pastry Orchestra will bring the golden age of Italian pop back to life and invite everyone to dance.

The following week, 15 artists from Germany and around the world will present their works of contemporary art.

The exhibition will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The exhibiting artists are: Christoph Medicus, Hannah Sieben, J. Michael Birn, Duane Bahia Benatti, Luigi Di Bella, Christin Holler, Katharina Heubner & Susan Helen Miller, Yasmin Alt, Adam de Neige, Tae gon Kim, Stephanie Hannah, Ariane Trümper, Ya-Wen Fu, and The Guts Company. During the festival week, a wide variety of creative workshops will also be offered—ranging from crocheting and knitting to programming visualizations or producing electronic music.

“ZUKUNFTSVISIONEN2015 – Festival for Contemporary Art” is a project with the vision of revitalizing unused spaces in Görlitz. Since 2007, students at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences have been volunteering with passion and creativity to openly address the issue of vacant properties in Görlitz.
