During Manifesta 16 Ruhr, curators and artists have been selected to transform vacant church buildings in ten cities across the Ruhr Area into spaces for gathering, exchange and collective practice. These artistic projects highlight the potential of the architectural and social spaces of the former churches and show how these sites can be revitalised through collective initiatives. 

 

Olaf Metzel has been invited by curators René Block and Leonie Herweg to present a newly commissioned work at the St. Gertrud church in Essen.
