In celebration of the Year of German-American Friendship, Bremen-based German artist collective URBANSCREEN will illuminate three iconic buildings in the United States with their light-art, thereby highlighting different aspects of German-American relations.

To celebrate Indianapolis’s strong German-American roots, URBANSCREEN will illuminate The Athenaeum Foundation, Inc. with images of influential German-American personalities-including Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein and Kurt Vonnegut. Uribanscreen’s innovative approach integrates architecture with digital artwork, producing an experience that uniquely evokes the stories and accomplishments of remarkable German-American lives.
