moreGlowing swans on the pond, magical tales and virtual reality in the middle of the city. Philipp Geist, Marija Avramovic & Sam Twidale, Denis Bivour & Florian Giefer, as well as the artists' collective Xenorama, are the creators of major attractions for the Luminale - presenting a total of four highly independent interpretations of this year's theme "Digital Romantic".

moreBevor sich das Atelier Orbit24 zur Luminale in einen Leuchtturm verwandeln kann, rufen die beiden Künstlerinnen zur aktiven Mithilfe auf: Für die komplette Verspiegelung des Raumes sammeln sie Spiegel – gerne auch nur als Leihgabe.
moreThe Luminale program brochure is still very popular with visitors of the Biennale for Light Art and Urban Design. Compact yet handy, it provides information at a glance on all Luminale installations, the TALK program and lots of additional data about the light art festival in Frankfurt and Offenbach.
moreDespite the postponement of Light + Building, the Luminale will take place as planned in the period from 12th to 15th March 2020 in Frankfurt am Main and Offenbach.
moreEspecially for the Luminale, a collaboration between the designer Kai Linke and the frankfurter werkgemeinschaft e.V. (fwg) has created a light object in limited edition.
moreEin Lichtkunstfestival, das zum Ausschalten der Beleuchtung animieren möchte? Sie haben richtig gelesen: Die Luminale will mit der Aktion „Licht aus!“ nicht nur einen symbolischen Ausgleich für den Energieverbrauch der Lichtkunst in der Stadt schaffen, sondern auch das Bewusstsein für dieses wichtige Thema schärfen.
moreEver more often, the name Yasuhiro Chida is mentioned in the same breath as the great light art luminaries of the age. For Luminale, he will be creating a work of art that requires absolute darkness.
moreSoon there’ll be dancing on the glass façade of the Ignatz Bubis Community Center, but first the performers must appear before the camera: We accompanied Lukas Sünder and his "Shedim Ballet" during the shoot.
moreMarcus McShane might well have been the Luminale artist with the longest journey. But instead of making the lengthy trip from New Zealand, he is collaborating with Berlin artists, who will be assembling and representing his work.
moreFor the duration of the Biennale for Light Art and Urban Design, the Verkehrsgesellschaft Frankfurt am Main (VGF) is donating - as part of their own project – free ride to all Luminale artists, who do not live locally.

moreThe Luminale sees itself as a platform to bring together and sensitize local stakeholders to the challenges of urban design. One project in the BETTER CITY section is The GREEN SHOWHOUSE FERDI by PIER F – Port of the Future Frankfurt, founded by Susanne Petry, who explains what lies behind the initiative.
moreSo far we have only worked behind the scenes, but finally we are ready to present light art works for the Luminale 2020.

moreMaterial Warehouse offers a major opportunity to make the exhibition business more sustainable. With "Material für Alle" (Material for All), gallerist and cultural creator Felix Grosse-Lohmann has successfully kick-started his dream of just such a contact point in Frankfurt. MFA is now supporting the Luminale and its artists as a partner.
moreEvent technology, material storage and other equipment: several companies and initiatives are at our side as valued partners, and happy to offer support to our Luminale artists.
moreFrom now on, a redesigned Luminale is taking the stage. This means that the Biennale for Light Art and Urban Design is also more visually powerful as an independent cultural festival in and beyond Frankfurt am Main.
moreFor an innovative project, the Luminale is still looking for participants who would like to talk about their lives in a high-rise building. Embedded in lectures and panel discussions, a format entitled „Luxury, Lifestyle, Love - Living in the Towers“ is being developed, whereby several protagonists will briefly and entertainingly offer insights into their lives in the skyscrapers.
moreAround four months before the start of the Luminale 2020, the organizational team will be moving into a new project office in Frankfurt’s city center.
