In a unique turn of events, the City of Solingen, Germany, recently announced the winners of the PlakART 2024 art lottery. Dagmar Becker, the City Director and Cultural Commissioner, drew the winning tickets from over 450 entries.
The PlakART 2024 event, which started in 2021, was not previously mentioned to have a specific start date. This art project, associated with Solingen, typically involves public poster art, and past editions may have included art lotteries or exhibitions. However, specific details regarding the 2024 edition or its winning artworks are not available in the search results or in my current dataset.
The lottery was part of the poster campaign for PlakART 2024. Participants had to photograph four motifs from the PlakART 2024 posters and send the photos to the city of Solingen. The PlakART 2024 event's poster campaign was not previously mentioned.
The PlakART 2024 exhibition, which displayed 42 works of art on a large scale in Solingen, ran from June 11 to July 11. The event was initiated during the Corona period to provide a stage for the art scene in the cityscape. The exhibition showcased the diversity of the Solingen art scene and a broad stylistic range of art, with some pieces being figurative and others abstract.
The PlakART 2024 exhibition was accessible online through the homepage solingen650.de, in addition to its physical display in the city. The common theme of the Solingen artists in PlakART 2024 was "650 years of Solingen".
Four of the winning pieces are titled: "Diversity" by Judith Funke, "Aquae" by Ulrika Eller-Rüter, "Coming Home" by Conny Schüssler, and "We go...Home!" by Stefan Seeger. The winners have now received their unique pieces in the art museum.
