Walk: Art for Everyone?! – Expedition in the urban space

The walk combines Joseph Beuys’ 7000 Oaks with street art murals, Landgrave Karl’s monument with Cosima von Bonin’s 7000 Palmen and graffiti with Walter de Maria’s vertical earth kilometer. In July, artist and educator Lutz Kirchner, Dustin Schenk of KolorCubes e.V., and Zaki Al-Maboren (Art Educator, Fridericianum) offer a tour through the city and, together with the participants, open a dialog about the diverse forms art can take in public space—and which social, political or aesthetic themes are negotiated in the process—will be created.

Lutz Kirchner works as artist and is co-author of the walk guide Beuys to go. Unterwegs zu 7000 Eichen that was published by the cdw Stiftung in 2020. He has been offering walks to Beuys’s 7000 Oaks for many years.

The expedition takes place as collaboration with KolorCubes e.V. The association combines international graffiti and art education. Since 2015, it expanded the international Public Art Gallery in Kassel and realized several wall works as part of documenta 15.
