Joy Lohmann is a german installation-, Integrated Art and StreetArt artist. His aim is to promote socio-eco-cultural transformation through the arts. Joy creates experienceable scenarios and atmospheres, based on key cultural issues to change the perception of our society, to help explore and develop positive future scenarios.
Based on Joseph Beuys´ concept of „Social Sculptures“, Joy cofounded „Integrated Art“ as a genre and a stock company at the same time in 1996 to break down the borders between art and real life. His thematic installations and happenings in public space mostly include collaborative elements and societal interaction to inspire and enable collaborative action beyond the fields of art.
