CURRENT— 
ART AND
URBAN
SPACE

CURRENT – ART AND URBAN SPACE is a transdisciplinary festival for art in urban space. The third edition will take place from June 26 to July 27, 2025, and will focus on "Air" in all its social, political, ecological, and material forms.

As an invisible but omnipresent element, air shapes life and its surroundings. It transmits sounds, smells and vibrations, moves within winds and is essential for life on Earth. The festival CURRENT – ART AND URBAN SPACE examines how air flows through and shapes the city of Stuttgart. Invited artists investigate the significance of air in its urban, historical and societal dimensions. Their projects will be presented at various locations, from Stuttgart’s Pragsattel to the central station to Marienplatz and the former Luftkurort, or climatic spa at Degerloch. By following streams of air through the city, CURRENT uses air as a narrative, aesthetic and artistic element. ...more

Three Questions for Anahita Razmi

In her work, German-Iranian artist Anahita Razmi addresses questions of representation, cultural coding, and media-based displacement. Using strategies of appropriation and contextual reordering, she investigates how meaning circulates between images, languages, and political spaces. CURRENT spoke with her about multilingualism, “hot air,” and the potential of unintelligibility.
