Located in the northeastern part of the Ruhr region is Germany’s most densely populated area: the Recklinghausen district, aka the Vest.
The artist collective KUNSTrePUBLIK declares this zone – for years in a state of upheaval – the Archipel in√est (Archipelago in Vest).
The conventions of urban planning and economic development are flooded. Experimental islands come into being and are reclaimed by the invited artists. Utopian projects, crude assertions, and improbable experiments emerge, bringing forth images that take on a life of their own in the public eye and invigorate the citizenry to demand real change.
