EVI LICHTUNGEN Concept

Every other year since 2015, the city of Hildesheim has become a stage and exhibition space for contemporary art for four days and nights, using light as a medium and material. In the urban living space, the city’s cultural heritage is placed in relation to current issues. Facades become canvases, hidden and little-noticed places become visible. Sacred and profane sites become spaces for negotiating contemporary art. An estimated 30.000 Hildesheim residents and visitors are out and about to see the 15 to 25 artistic works in public places, churches, museums, galleries and off-spaces. Admission is also free in this edition of the Biennial.

With their works, the invited international artists enter into a dialogue with significant places in the city and make visible issues of the present as well as connections and influences from the past. They break with ordinary ways of seeing and create extraordinary perspectives. The works impress with their high artistic quality and depth of content, and challenge the audience to engage in an independent analysis of what they have seen. The interplay of work, location and viewer stimulates attention to encounters and connections and creates new spaces for individual and collective experiences.

EVI LICHTUNGEN is dependent on a large number of allies and cooperation partners who enthusiastically make the Biennial possible with us. Through cooperation with initiatives, schools, institutions and associations in the city, new synergies are created in each edition in the form of artistic projects, seminars, workshops, lectures and round tables. For each edition there are also guided tours with a thematic focus, so-called Streifzüge, to selected works along the light art route.

We want to meet the current challenges of society as a whole creatively and constructively, make a contribution to community existence and action, and thus increase the quality of life. The city of Hildesheim becomes a space for unique artistic experiences and adventures beyond the everyday visible.
