In our third year Aljoscha Begrich continue the project WEGE, creating works for the routes between the Ruhrtriennale’s disparate venues. Three new productions open up a view of the space of the in-between. In 2021, local artists started the project by opening the Ruhr region in their own ways, themes and forms, while in 2022, three artists from Mexico, Argentina and Iran presented projects on routes they had ever passed, expanding them with stories and questions from a broader perspectives. Three performance artists have been invited to devise projects together with the audience. In contrast to previous years, when everybody had to explore the routes on his own, the post-covid time allows an experience of WEGE projects in groups together with the artists, so that they can meet and exchange reactions – in between Bochum, Essen and Duisburg.
