The European Central Bank (ECB) will take part in Luminale 2018, a biennial light, art and urban design festival in Frankfurt. From 18 to 23 March, the ECB will transform the north façade of the historic Grossmarkthalle, which is an integral part of its main building, into a huge animated street art gallery. The light show will take place every day from 19:30 to 22:30.

The light and video projection along Sonnemannstrasse will be staged by the Bremen artists’ collective Urbanscreen in collaboration with Berlin-based illustrator, Andreas Preis. Urbanscreen has converted Preis’ illustrations into a 3D moving picture show.

The ECB is committed to promoting European art and culture and welcomes this opportunity to contribute to the cultural scene of its host city, Frankfurt. The ECB also took part in the Luminale in 2008 and 2016.
