An immersive art evening in Bochum's Kunstbunker
FURTHERRR - The Electric Cool Aid Art Test combines exhibition, performance, graffiti, and club culture into a dense artistic experience in the Kunstbunker Bochum. The project by MINT-400 stages space, sound, and movement as a collective event, transforming the historical bunker into a parcours of art observation, happening, and participatory experience. The Kunstbunker on Baarestraße is home to the Bochum artists' association; here, exhibitions, concerts, readings, dance, and performances intersect.

Peace idea, present, and artistic freedom
Inspired by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, the exhibition unfolds a vibrant, anarchic, and simultaneously peaceful visual language. The participating artists locate their works in the spirit of the times and formulate an appeal for peace, self-determination, and artistic freedom. It is precisely from this that the special exhibition atmosphere emerges: not a quiet juxtaposition of works, but a lively exhibition architecture where visual art and physical presence reinforce each other.

When works become events
As MINT-Pranksters, performers guide the audience through the designed spaces. Exhibited works come to life, soundscapes flow through the bunker, and surprising exercises make art immediately tangible. Notable actions include the Fit-through-Disco-Ball action and the creation of personal power symbols with spray cans. This creates an immersive parcours that condenses painting, installation, graffiti, performance, and sound into an aesthetic experience.

The location: Bochum's historical Kunstbunker
The Kunstbunker located at Baarestraße 68 is part of the narrative itself. The former air raid shelter was built in 1941 and shaped the history of Bochum-Stahlhausen as a protective space; today it serves as a distinctive cultural site for contemporary art. The exhibition hours are on Saturdays from 2 PM to 5 PM, Wednesdays from 4 PM to 7 PM, and by appointment during exhibitions.

Education, mediation, and visitor experience
The project strongly emphasizes cultural education and direct mediation. Through the performative guiding, physical exercises, and the inclusion of the audience, the observation of works transforms into an active art experience. The event venue is designed for an open, experimental audience; the Bochum artists' association regularly shows exhibitions of invited guests and members there.
