Geiselkirchen is the capital of culture of hearts, but it is also one of the most unpopular tourism destinations in the world. The multicultural city has some ugly historic buildings, a canal and about no entertainment scene.

The selection of about 30 of the best art & crafts designer will be nominated by an international jury for the DESIGNKIOSK RUHR.2010 soon. The consequences of these experimental environment change and most likely destructive process will finally be left to those who can't deal with it. Have fun ...
