Reclaim Award

// ADS OUT - ART IN // 

// OPEN CALL for Artists - Only 4 days left! // 

Where usually cruises, cars, or detergents find large places to shine, there will now be art. 40 billboards become exhibition surfaces.

This year, the Reclaim Kollektiv holds the second Reclaim Award in Cologne. For the debut in 2019, 551 artists from 29 countries applied to redesign 25 billboards in urban areas of Cologne. Since this went beyond any intended scope, there will be already 40 large-scale billboards to show art in 2020.

Reclaim grows. A plus of 15 surfaces means even more radiance for the artpieces, even more visibility for the artists. The stage is ready, Cologne as public museum. Perception in public space is the highest: large-scale billboards on bustling streets, busy train stations, and in urban, alternative neighbourhoods of Cologne.

Curated by a renommated jury of galerists, artists and art historians, the Reclaim Award 2020 takes place in Cologne from June 16 to 26. For an audience, undisguised, diverse and unprepared.
