Art in the Underground - The Wehrhahn Line

Overview

“Art and magic in a German metro” was the headline of the New York Times on the occasion of the opening of the 3.4-kilometer-long weir tap line. The laying of the tracks underground has not only relieved the city of traffic. The art city of Düsseldorf is opening up a new terrain with the underground. In what a fascinating way, you'll find out on this tour! 6 subway stations*, 6 artists, according to the design concept. In cooperation with the city, architects and engineers, the former students of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf have succeeded in embedding art in the daily lives of more than 50,000 passengers – with completely different ideas. Here the subway station becomes a sound world, there a space station and at the next stop a steel poem awaits you – or a mystery? Discover yourself as a protagonist and learn how the “continuum” also connects the individual stations aesthetically. Art on the whole (Wehrhahn) line!
