Art sensation in Untermenzing: Opening festival for Menzinga” on July 18th!

A very special art event awaits Untermenzing. Next Friday, July 18th, the artist Martin Blumöhr will ceremoniously inaugurate his latest work “Menzinga” at the Untermenzing S-Bahn station. The event begins at 4 p.m. in the pedestrian underpass on Bauseweinallee and promises to be a celebration for all art lovers. From 6.30 p.m., live bands will heat up the atmosphere with free admission. The work of art itself covers almost 800 square meters, making it one of the largest murals in Munich designed by a single artist. Blumöhr captured the surrounding area, more precisely the Untermenzing district, from the perspective of the Würm River, which gives the work of art a unique touch.

The Pasinger artist Blumöhr is known for incorporating stories and motifs from dialogue with passers-by into his works. With his current project “Menzinga” he invites Munich residents to share their personal stories and experiences, which are then creatively implemented as part of the mural. This is not only a unique opportunity, but also a sign of the lively interaction between art and the public. How hallo-muenchen.de reports, he also designed the underpass on Landshuter Allee on Dom-Pedro-Straße, where he also covered stories from Neuhausen, such as the Olympic site, and invited passers-by to actively participate in the design.

Art in public space: A strong piece of Munich

Blumöhr's project is one of the numerous initiatives to promote art in public spaces. The city of Munich has recognized the power and joy that art can spread and therefore supports numerous creative projects. bei-uns-in-muenchen.de emphasizes that works of art and installations on streets, squares and parks not only provide aesthetics, but also strengthen a sense of community. Urban art like the one Blumöhr creates is now more than just a trend - it is part of our city's intellectual and cultural heritage.

Blumöhr has already gained experience in the development of large-format works of art, for example with his project “Tunnelblick” at Pasinger Bahnhof. His current project “Niwenhaus” is intended to transform the dreary underpass into a colorful world of images. This project, initiated by the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district committee, shows once again how art lives and thrives in Munich.
