Accompanied by concerts by Lifeless Past (Darkwave, The Hague) and Guts Pie Earshot (Breakbeat-Techno-Punk, Berlin), as well as live ambient sounds by Werner M. Schmidgen in the large hall, “the art side of” opens today for the fourth time the moon”
From October 12th to 19th In October, the festival, organized by local, mainly FLINTA* artists, transforms the AZ Hall and adjacent rooms into exhibition spaces.
Eight artists will show their work from various artistic areas for a week. Hiroshima Bosch does painting, Petunia Evil shows photography, Siobhan Insomnia photography and Art Brut, Rout Mixed Media, Atti Attilerie Mixed Media and installation, Franka Maria Fitzner ink drawings and watercolors, Olinski makes film and Varus & Arminius again installation. The core of the exhibition is a joint installation by all participating artists.
As a further highlight, an auction will take place on Friday, October 18th, 2024 from 7 p.m., in which all artists involved will offer some of their works for sale.
Throughout the week there will also be a DIY craft corner where visitors can create their own small work of art and exhibit it directly.
Art side of the moon consciously offers FLINTA* artists a platform. It wants to help improve their visibility in the art scene and encourage us to change the image we have of artists and break down stereotypes, clichés and prejudices. The choice of the Autonomous Center as the event location should also contribute to this.
“With the art side of the moon festival in AZ, we want to bring an art exhibition to a place where something like this doesn’t take place every day and, by combining it with other program elements, we want to bring people who don’t necessarily already have access to art to an art exhibition,” explains the event group.
In order to keep access low, entry to the festival is free on all days.
At the finissage on Saturday, October 19th, 2024, the noise performance duo Dernière from Dortmund will first perform before DJ Stock Music (Genoa) closes the festival.
