„well,come“ graces Dortmund docklands
The walk-on installation „well, come“ in the Dortmund docklands, created for the Ruhrtriennale 2016 festival of the arts, takes as its subject the currents that travel around the world: raw materials, data, financial services and goods as well as the massive migratory movements driven by wars and the economic struggle for survival. Produced by Urbane Künste Ruhr as a contribution to the Ruhrtriennale 2016, the installation seeks to re-examine the everyday urban experience. The multimedia installation by the group „osa_office for subversive architecture“ can be experienced until 24 September 2016 on the premises of the steel-processing centre SAZ Dortmund.
The „art trips“ in a heather violet coloured walk-on sculpture made of steel involve hoisting visitors almost to the roof of a factory building, where, hovering in the air, they become part of a sound and video performance. For the implementation, two VMK-S-250 dual chainfall hoists and four V-Motion 40 variable motion power packs – in each case from Movecat – were used.
