VHILS at MUCA & KUNSTLABOR 2 Did you know? As part of Vhils' survey exhibition "Strata" at the Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA), the artist Vhils has taken the opportunity to unite both cultural venues, the MUCA and the KUNSTLABOR 2, with a spectacular installation of artworks from his "Latency Series". The antenna symbolises an antiquated form of communication, while the mass gathering in the entrance area of KUNSTLABOR 2 serves as a metaphor for the complexity of hyperconnectivity associated with the globalised age. The single antenna on the façade of the MUCA is a reminder that amidst the huge streams of information flowing through the ether of the urban environment, the individual - the human element in the artwork - has always been the original transmitter of knowledge. We are delighted to present the outdoor interventions of renowned contemporary artist Alexandre Farto, aka Vhils.

LOOMIT

Who is Loomit?

Loomit (*1968), whose real name is Mathias Köhler, is one of the pioneers and best-known graffiti artists of our time. At the age of fifteen, Mathias Köhler sprayed his first graffiti on the water tower in Buchloe. In 1985, as one of seven sprayers, he painted the first Whole Train in Germany, which went down in European graffiti history as the "Geltendorf Train".

The artist is best known for his 3D lettering, which he learned from the New York writer legend Seen. Today, Loomit works as a freelance artist in Munich.

What do elephants and bees have to do with art? In this former staff lounge of the public health department, Loomit reinterprets the role of the busy civil servant. The result is an allegorical creature, a symbiosis of elephant and bee, which can be found a total of seven times in this room. It appears as a sculpture, on the walls and as a shadowy figure in the artificially constructed anteroom to the window with a 3D effect.
