FLUX 2.0 c/o LICHTUNGEN Hildesheim

LICHTUNGEN Art Works
The FLUX Collective was invited to take part in the light art festival LICHTUNGEN from October 29 to November 1, 2015 in Hildesheim. The exhibition’s site were scattered around the city along the World Heritage Trail. The majority of the 46 installations were site-specific or site-adapted. All of them were dedicated to the leitmotif “Continuum” that linked the exhibition to the city’s jubiliee of 1200 years since it has been founded. The FLUX Collective was present with six positions and their friends – Andrea Thembie Hannig and Hartung and Trenz – who have been part of the first FLUX Project in September 2015 in Tunis.

LICHTUNGEN Curators’ Work
Oumayma Abdelhak and Souad Bellaaj were part of the curatorial team of LICHTUNGEN. Based on an international internship funded by the Goethe-Intitut Tunisia they spend four weeks in Hildesheim and supported the local team. They assisted selected artists in their set-up, shared the information and communication tasks and were part of the art mediation team.
