Urban Art Biennale 2024 – Collaboration Works
For the Urban Art Biennale 2024, the artists ANTONIO GALLEGO, PASCAL ANSELL, COCO BERGHOLM, CORENTIN SEYFRIED, EPOS 257, LÉA HUSSENOT, DEANA KOLENČIKOVÁ, MATHIEU TREMBLIN as well MARY LEMONADE and JIEM from the duo WANDERLUST SOCIAL CLUB became an international collective, the GESELLSCHAFT DER STADTWANDERER, which would mean in English the „Society of City Hikers“. The group dealt intensively with the city of Völklingen and its history specifically involving the local population. Posters were used to distribute contact details for citizens to contact the collective, some of whose members stayed in Völklingen for weeks. The people of Völklingen willingly shared memories and sensitivities and the dialogue resulted in very different works, which the artists did in the form of temporary interventions without permission carried out in the urban area. “We take the freedom to grow in the city intervene, we try not to commit vandalism, our interventions can be reversed at any time,” says MATHIEU TREMBLIN, who is impressed by the great willingness to participate in Völklingen. – Völklinger Hütte – Some of the participating artists also created own works at the factory and throughout the city, by clicking on their names above you well get to their subpages. They created as well a special map with all the artworks for an explorative Stadtparcours, or in English „City Parcours“.
Opposite the main work at the Möllernhalle at Völklinger Hütte, a video was shown in an endless loop in which two people were walking through the churchyard and the city center of Völklingen, suddenly met each other and began to nod their heads like pigeons, „nod“ at each other and then strut on, as if you had blisters on your feet or in your pants. Some of the works are installed in the hut area, other photos show the manifestos that were stuck in the city area or what remained of them after a few months of being installed. Those manifestos were presented in English, French and German. Overall, it can be said that many “exhibits” were no longer preserved or were only partially preserved. – Irxnschmoiz

The GESELLSCHAFT DER STADTWANDERER is a confidential, self-organized association of hikers, observers and interventionists in the transforming city. A local delegation from the society will explore the city from February to April 2024. They follow or lead; they looks or comment; they elevate or awaken; they writes with you the story of exploring the gray areas of the city of Völklingen. Share with us an urban legend, a hidden place, a forgotten history of the city or a local personality, by text or voice message at +33 745 002 054.
Manifesto „English“ in the City Area – Rathaus 2
Cross-border and international,
our Society has existed
since the urban fabric covered the planet.
We are a confidential and self-organized group
of walkers, observers and interventionists
operating within the urban transition.
Our goal is to collect and transmit
the forgotten stories that lie
in the territory across different time scales.
Our members are anonymous:
they travel the city in search of intensity and poetry.
They study the urban phenomenon,
human and non-human.
They shape the urban landscape
to reflect their desires and passions.
We are sometimes called
flâneurs, photographer-walkers,
psychogeographers, graffiti artists, squatters,
partygoers, skaters, BMXers, urbexers, etc.
We are the urban hikers
who meander at the edges of public and private spaces.
We are the wild botanists
who take care abandoned gardens.
We are the public writers
who record the lost memories of neighborhoods.
We are the campfire musicians
who sing urban legends.
We are the ones who invoke the genius loci.
We are the Society of Urban Wanderers!
Manifesto „German“ in the City Area – Rathaus 29
Unsere Gesellschaft ist grenzüberschreitend
und international und existiert,
seit das städtische Gewebe die Erde bedeckt.
Wir sind ein vertraulicher,
selbstorganisierter Zusammenschluss
von Wanderer·innen, Beobachter·innen
und Interventionist·innen
in der sich verwandelnden Stadt.
Unsere Hauptaktivität besteht darin,
verborgene Erinnerungen aufzudecken, die sich
auf verschiedenen Zeitskalen im Land einnisten.
Unsere Mitglieder sind anonym:
Sie durchstreifen die Stadt auf der Suche
nach Intensität und Poesie.
Sie erforschen urbane, menschliche
und nicht-menschliche Phänomene.
Sie gestalten die Stadtlandschaft
nach ihren Wünschen und Leidenschaften.
Man nennt uns manchmal Flaneur·innen,
Graffitisprayer·innen, Urban Explorer·innen,
Raver·innen, Bmxer·innen,
Skateboarder·innen, Hausbesetzer·innen, etc.
Wir sind die Stadtwanderer·innen, die sich an den Rändern
öffentlicher und privater Räume treiben lassen.
Wir sind die wilden Botaniker·innen,
die verlassene Gärten bewirtschaften.
Wir sind die öffentlichen Schriftsteller·innen,
die die verlorenen Erinnerungen der Stadtviertel aufdecken.
Wir sind die Musiker·innen der Lagerfeuer,
die urbane Legenden singen.
Wir sind diejenigen, die den Geist der Orte beschwören.
Wir sind die Gesellschaft der Stadtwanderer·innen!
