It seems like 2017 will be a special year for the german Meeting in its hometown Wiesbaden. Currently the local organisation is checking for additional wallspace expanding the MOS in order to turn ugly spots into pieces of art.
A huge underpass-complex at the bench of the Rhine containing meanhwile more than 4000qm space on several walls, well reachable by train, car and bus. The first events already happened late 90ies. Since then the underpass has completely changed from ghetto to an art-gallery.
