Industrial site redevelopment, or shorter: IBUG. Chemnitz has shown the way and Ruhr Metropolis follows. After more than ten years of vacancy, the old Westerholt colliery opens its rusty doors. More than 60 international artists have revitalised the abandoned site with spray cans, wood, varnish and paint. RUbug aims to create an arc between street and museum, subculture and high culture. The magnificent Gründerzeit buildings of the colliery site, which have long since fallen into disrepair, become a gallery. The place is the star of the exhibition. It serves as a canvas and becomes a source of artistic inspiration. In just one week, hundreds of murals, spatial installations and collages are created on part of the site.
