Short Description:
The city of Neu-Ulm is seeking an artistic director for its off-space PUTTE, who will breathe new life into the project space for young, unconventional art.
With the walk-through installation “Proof of Mother” and the participatory installation “The Great Escape,” former curators Michael Schlecht and Elisabeth Würzl have given the PUTTE project space a home for non-commercial contemporary art and attracted numerous visitors. As a platform for expansive, experimental, and socially relevant art forms from Germany and abroad, PUTTE has secured a place at the heart of the Neu-Ulm and Ulm art scene.
The city of Neu-Ulm is now looking for a successor who, with enthusiasm and initiative, brings strong ideas to the table to ensure that PUTTE continues to have a lively, dynamic presence.
