On May 5, 2025, the second phase of the exhibition "Revierkunst" begins, which is curated by media artist André Chi Sing Yuen. Yuen, known for his innovative examination of the aesthetic and cultural dimensions of his home region of Ruhr area, opens up a platform for creative forms of expression with this exhibition that builds on the history and identity of the Ruhr area. The first phase of the exhibition ran until April 12, 2025 and showed the first important works that reflected the urban change and the culture of the region.

In phase II, the photographic artist Gudrun Kemsa will make her contribution by transforming the existing exhibition. It will add new elements and remove existing ones to expand the perspectives and enable new interpretations. Kemsa is known for her ability to pack complex topics in simple, visual stories. The third phase, which begins on May 17, 2025, will present the Swiss painter Stefan à Wengen, which will interpret the concepts in his own way. The finise of the entire exhibition is planned for May 31, 2025.

With his approach to the art scene in the Ruhr area,

André Chi Sing Yuen not only focused on local topics, but also addressed global challenges, such as social justice and the value of industrial culture. At the district art, he presents works that enable the viewer an active examination of urban reality. This participative component is a central element in Yuen’s artistic vision.

dynamics of the artist scene in the Ruhr area

The Ruhr area is a dynamic and diverse cultural environment that significantly shapes identity and the international flair of the region. With a population of 8.3 million people, the region offers creative rooms and art houses that are constantly developing. The cultural landscape is enriched by important museums such as the LWL Museum for Art and Culture and the Folkwang Museum, which regularly present international and local artists.

The 13th Revierkunst, which took place in the LWL Museum Henrichshütte in Hattingen, reflects the diversity of the art scene. In connection with technological innovations, the works are seamlessly integrated into the physical space, which enables visitors to perceive art as an interactive experience. Such initiatives contribute to the promotion of creative communities in the Ruhr area and strengthen the cultural ties in the region.

André Chi Sing Yuen and his colleagues show that the art scene in the Ruhr area is not only becoming more important locally but also internationally. The collaboration between different artists and the support from programs and funding, which are specially provided for digital arts, urban arts and other areas, are firmly in focus of future developments in the Ruhr area.
