Am July 7 at 18:00 Opens the Specks Hof In the heart of Leipzig, its doors for a special encounter:
Artistic freedom Shows original wall pieces by the Leipzig artist Michael Fischer-Art, secured by the former Technical Town Hall — a building that shaped the city's everyday life, administration and beginnings for decades.
In the passage, which is itself part of Leipzig's history, it becomes clear how art can be preserved and made accessible anew — Not as an object but as a narrative.
Leipzig is 2025 City of Books — A year dedicated to remembering, telling and preserving.
Auch Artistic freedom Sees itself as part of this movement:
What do we do with the images that disappear from our urban space?
How do we preserve not only the forms, but also the stories they contain?
The colorful wall paintings by Fischer-Art tell of departure and change, of open societies, of the courage to color. They were not in museums, but in the open air — visible to all.
Michael Fischer-Art was part of the peaceful revolution. His art grew in public space, was political, loud, colorful — and rooted at the same time in the city's biography.
The mural at the Technical Town Hall, with over 2,400 painted square meters The largest in Germany, was a fixed point in downtown Leipzig for over 20 years.
2,100 square meters of which were saved, with foxtail and drill, piece by piece.
What remains are Fragments of a shared story — Signs of a changing urban space.
The Choice of Location Is No Accident: The Specks Hof, a passage that combines literature, history and the present, becomes a resonance room this evening.
Art meets architecture, fragments meet memory, and conversations open up new perspectives.
Accompanied by Music, Drinks and Open Exchange, Artistic Freedom invites you not only to look at art, but to ask questions:
How do we want to deal with what remains?
What can we learn from fragments?
And how are wall surfaces transformed into cultural carriers?
