In the organizer's words:
Die RuhrgebietsSpatzen (Pani Kostka and Mercedes Tuccini) explore the subversive potential of the pop world in a glamorous and entertaining way. As part of the Grand Snail Tour, music videos are created at several locations, each of which is developed with a local club or group and staged in the city's décor.
After the swaying start in wintry Schermbeck, Pani Kostka and Mercedes Tuccini dedicate their second tour stop in Waltrop to the waltz. The spring-like music video Die RuhrgebietsSpatzen in Waltrop was created in collaboration with the Waltrop dance school Tanzatelier Pompös.
An essential part of the tour is a - gradually expanding - pool of works by (international) artists, which are individually presented and exhibited, but above all actually used. They shine from afar, provide warmth or protection from the rain, invite people to linger, exchange ideas and engage in discussion - and much more.
Based on local newspapers and supplements from the region, which are sent to the author Lütfiye Güzel by project partners and passers-by, Local Blackouts are published in each city. As a poetic evaluation of the local news, Güzel successively creates 53 poems for the Grand Snail Tour by crossing out and blackening text passages. Local references and solidarity are conveyed on various levels in the project presented on conventional press displays: through the collaborative practice of collecting and sharing regional print products and their artistic appropriation by the author.
