If paradise is half as nice IPIHAN#12
Last year, GEH8 Kunst Raum Ateliers launched the project Frei.Raum.Direkt., a multi-layered examination of the derelict urban space of the Altes Leipziger Bahnhof in Dresden and, on this occasion, established the new field of action GEH8urban, which aims at an urban development oriented towards the common good by means of artistic strategies.
This year, the art project IPIHAN was invited to organize its 12th edition on the grounds of the Alte Leipziger Bahnhof. IPIHAN is an annual project in which a group of international artists temporarily infiltrate a site to work on site-specific artworks and ultimately display them in a public exhibition. The group works intensively for five weeks in the surroundings of the Old Leipzig Station and presents the resulting artistic works in an exhibition from September 2 to 4. The public is invited to view the exhibited works themselves or to participate in guided tours organized by the artists.
Lectures, presentations, film screenings and a bar with drinks and food at GEH8 are also part of the program.
