Light-Art Meets German Architecture

"Light-Art Meets German Architecture" comprises three light-art installations from the artist collective URBANSCREEN. The installations will be part of the opening of the Year of German-American Friendship: "#WunderbarTogether - Germany and the U.S."

In each installation, three iconic architectural structures in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Indianapolis, each notably related to the overarching theme of German-American relations, will be featured. Beginning with the residence of the German ambassador in Washington (event by invitation only), URBANSCREEN will produce projection-mapping experiences that involve displaying light-art narratives on the outer façades of the chosen buildings. From dazzling light shows to digital artwork projections, these installations will merge multiple intersecting art forms, encouraging American audiences to take a closer look at how German architecture in the United States reflects the relationship between these two nations.

This series is organized by the Goethe-Institut as part of the initiative “Year of German-American Friendship” in 2018/19. A heartfelt thank-you is extended to all our local partners.
