  | INTERNATIONAL ADVENT CALENDAR
| December 1 - December 24 2002 | 24 times art from all over the world
in the windows of the Künstlerhaus front| 24 hours a day
   
   
 
One window after the other will be illuminating the winterly darkness, finally on december 24th the whole building will glow with contemporary art. 24 hours a day art adds a special note to the turkish neighbourhood, that is always beautifully decorated in wintertime.

On Advent weekends the art calendar will be accompanied by events, small exhibitions, screenings, concerts, performances etc.
   
     
 

| THE FAÇADE The Künstlerhaus with its three-storey main façade facing the Sunderweg is located directly on one of the motorway approach roads of the city. High traffic density and regular stand-stills in front of a nearby set of traffic lights secure a large audience for the project. The Advent calendar project takes this historical façade as its starting-point. Exactly 24 windows open the inside outwards.

 
     
     
 

| THE LIT WINDOWS Artists are called upon internationally to submit projects for the windows and fill the Künstlerhaus Dortmund with more light each day during Advent time. The organization makes use of different ways: personal contacts to artists by members of the house are used as well as contacts to guest curators and
co-operation partners. Furthermore it is possible to attract artists all over the world via internet.

  
   
     
  The Advent windows will be lit one after the other - december 1st to 24th -
and all together until January 6th 2003 daily from dawn until 2 am
