Stadtgalerie Draussen

The Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken facilitates new forms of collaboration and implements multidisciplinary projects. In the series STADTGALERIE DRAUSSEN, the Stadtgalerie is active out of the center with artistic projects in the urban space.

Within the series "STADTGALERIE DRAUSSEN" the Stadtgalerie plays together with artists specific performances and workshops on the stage of the Waldbühne in the Deutsch-Französischer Garten in the summer. Located on the border to France, the Deutsch-Französischer Garten has been a place of gathering since the 1950s and 1960s, connecting Germany and France.

Previous Projects

Blankx - Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken

Concert by Blankx

On behalf of the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, the Saarbrücken musician and event manager Justin Hayo has now invited the band Blankx to play one last concert for the summer of 2022 on the Waldbühne in the Deutsch-Französischer Garten as part of the event series. The band Blankx consists of two musicians who have mastered the power of improvisation. The only specifications: Groove and sound. Michel Meis (drums) and Manuel Krass (keys & electronics) effortlessly mix drum'n'bass with jazz, house with hip-hop and soundscapes with funk. Everything without agreements, everything with a feeling for long suspense arcs and a differentiated sound.

Concert by Zephyrsky

The band Zephyrsky around singer/percussionist Justin Hayo and guitarist Philipp Herget has been an integral part of the Saarland cultural scene for years. In the context of the event they came back to their roots. Before the band came to Germany-wide engagements in a large line-up, they started 9 years ago as street musicians. Together with Zephyrsky, the audience was able to experience a musical journey through time and a glimpse of a promising artistic future.

Jam Session with the Thomas Delor Trio

The Thomas Delor Trio played at the Waldbühne in the Deutsch-Französischer Garten, as part of "Stadtgalerie Draußen".

Unconventional, at the same time catchy and complex, subtle and driving, rhythmic and melodic:
As a bandleader and composer, French drummer Thomas Delor creates relationships through the drums. He develops an unadapted sonority - together with Simon Martineau on the guitar and Georges Correia on the bass.

Storytelling Workshop with Natalie Brück

Subjective perspectives in a collective narrative: what influences our narrative? How do subjective perspectives come together or collide? What rhythm emerges from this?

During the short workshop on September 18th, participants were inspired by the surroundings in the Deutsch-Französischer Garten. Together with the artist, they took a walk through the park and tried to freely associate linguistically and intellectually, from which a poetic spoken word piece was ultimately to emerge.
