KNOTENPUNKT24 Vernissage

KNOTENPUNKT24

On September 13, the Affenfaust Gallery will open the exhibition of the year: KNOTENPUNKT24. The most exciting urban and contemporary art of the moment can be discovered on over 1000 m2 and allows us to immerse ourselves in new worlds.

Special highlights this year include a visit from French artist Oak Oak, who is bringing his art to Hamburg's "streets", and a walk-in installation by artist Marambolage. The internationally successful artist duo Christoph Florin (formerly Low Bros) will redesign the exterior façade of the gallery, while AQUAGRINGO will bring the outside cityscape back into the gallery in the form of a comprehensive kiosk installation. For a performance by LP Edits from the UK, the Affenfaust Galerie will recreate part of his studio in Hamburg, so that we can participate in the special creation process of his stencil works on site during the opening. In addition, a large new mural by Coco Bergholm can be discovered in the Gängeviertel.

Following on from the success of last year's festival, which attracted over 3000 visitors, this year's festival will once again bring together international stars of the scene with local artists, collectors and art enthusiasts. Artists from Brazil, the UK, Mexico, Canada, France, Sweden, Denmark, the USA and Spain, among others, inspire us to reflect on our present in a sometimes socially critical, sometimes humorous, but always witty and visually outstanding way.

KNOTENPUNKT has been curated by Affenfaust Galerie for a decade now and presents a selection of currently relevant urban art and contemporary art. The outstanding quality and range of the exhibited positions is unique in Germany and also plays at the top internationally. The focus is always on a large group exhibition, which is accompanied by a diverse supporting program in the form of events, performances, installations, collaborations with local institutions and art in public spaces. This has already resulted in a large number of designed façades by Nychos, Low Bros, Elmar Lause and 1010, as well as public interventions by SpY and Quintessenz.
