JET LEG, Biennale d'Arte e Cultura, Edition no. 2 in Munich

JET LEG, Biennale d'Arte e Cultura - the bilateral project initiated by Neapolitan-Munich artist Danilo Bastione and first held in Naples in 2021, comes to Munich on August 28th for its second edition. The project is based on a one-month artist residency and expands into a three-week framework program with public actions and an exhibition as a highlight, which will open on September 09.

As part of JET LEG, southern Italian artists* Pennacchio Argentato, Clarissa Baldassarri, Paolo Puddu, Maria Positano de Vincentiis as well as Ambra Viviani and Diego Miedo will create site-specific artworks that will be shown in various exhibition spaces, OFF-spaces and public spaces. The presentations seek interaction with the local cultural scene and the public.

JET LEG thus initiates a process of sustainable artistic exchange with the intention of transcending cultural, social and creative boundaries. The project offers diverse opportunities for reflection and exploration of artistic processes as well as discussion of pressing current issues in direct exchange with the public.

The participatory spirit of the Biennale will also be felt throughout the city for the two weeks before the exhibition: public interventions, artist* talks and workshops, as well as “Museo Mobile” concerts invite discussion and participation at every location.

The exhibition’s vernissage, featuring a performance by the Slovenian-Swiss art-duo Veli and Amos, will take place on September 9th at Lothringer 13 (studio on the 1st floor).

The vernissage, exhibition and the entire program of events beforehand are open to the public free of charge.

Exhibition and action locations: Lothringer 13 Studio/ local, public space Au-Haidhausen, Bogenhausen, Cafebar Mona (Monacensia Munich), OFF Space Schumannstraße, and many more.
