Çanakkale Art Walk visited Osnabrück for a second time
Çanakkale Art Walk 2, has once more reunited the art scenes from Çanakkale and Osnabrück, with the artworks of 40 artists from 17 countries.
The twinhood between Osnabrück and Çanakkale started on 2004 and facilitated a long term collaboration between the two cities art scenes. Canakkale Art Walk started in 2015 as a result of the ongoing dialogue of civil societies. In collaboration with BBK Osnabrück the exhibition presented a selection of works from the 3rd and 4rt Canakkale Biennial dispersed in 5 different artist studio in the city.
After the success and public attention that Canakkale Art Walk received, the preparation for the second edition started on June 2016. Again initiated by BBK and the support of the municipality of Osnabrück, Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Museumsquartier (Felix-Nussbaum-Haus/ Kulturgeschichtliches Museum), Bund Bildender Künstler Osnabrück (BBK) and Gesellschaft für zeitgenössische Kunst e.V. joined their forces in order to host Canakkale Art Walk 2. The exhibition curated by Christian Oxenius, has intended on bringing into the realm of Europe, the concept of “Homeland” brought forward by the 5th Canakkale Biennial. Despite the cancellation of the 5th Canakkale Biennial three weeks prior to its opening, Çanakkale Art Walk 2 project has continued its journey.
The conceptual framework developed by Christian Oxenius, aims at opening up to discuss the concept of “homeland” together with every layer of meaning and feeling that surrounds this concept, from national narratives to personal histories.
