As every year, the Association for Urban Art (Verein zur Förderung urbaner Kunst) invites visitors to its special exhibition JAHRESGABEN – Annual Editions, presented this year as 50:50 Editions. The idea of 50:50 is reflected in several aspects: all works measure 50 × 50 cm (depending on framing, but always at least square in format). Half of the exhibition will be shown in the VUK space as works for sale – canvases, works on paper, or sculptures – while the other half will be displayed on the walls of the FatCat. #vereinurbanekunst #jahresgaben
