Kunstrauschen is an inspiring invitation to discover the hidden corners of Karlsruhe’s art scene and take a fascinating journey into the world of art. As part of art KARLSRUHE 2024, Kunstrauschen will take place for the first time on February 23, 2024 from 19:00 to 23:00.
The city’s independent project spaces and offspaces welcome interested visitors to explore the city and the local art scene away from established galleries following the exhibition program. Karlsruhe has an incredible variety of project spaces and offspaces that have been an important part of the city’s cultural life for decades. Whether studios or rooms in private apartments, backyards or large halls – art takes place in every conceivable corner of Karlsruhe. These spaces, often run by artists, are places of self-determined artistic activity and experimentation that offer a unique insight into the work of contemporary Karlsruhe artists.
Parallel to art KARLSRUHE, around 15 of these project spaces will open their doors simultaneously for one evening for the first time, offering the opportunity to discover the partly hidden spaces in a relaxed atmosphere and get to know the artists personally.
The program is as diverse as the various project spaces. Among other things, visitors can expect vernissages of artistic positions ranging from expansive installations in mold to sculptural explorations with delicate glass blowing in Schauraum B9, video works in dialog with drawings in the Project Room Rochade or even an art discounter in ßpace. Each project space designs its own evening program, providing a kaleidoscopic insight into the contemporary art landscape in Karlsruhe, which is only available on this evening.
Be part of this special art experience when Kunstrauschen conquers Karlsruhe! Open your eyes to new perspectives and don’t miss the chance to explore Karlsruhe’s vibrant art scene. The entire event can be visited free of charge and without prior registration.
To make it easier for visitors of art KARLSRUHE to visit the project spaces, the exhibition shuttle will stop at various destinations in the city on the evening of February 23.
