“Die Stadt & Das Gute Leben” (The city & the good life) is a research project and exhibition, intervention and communication forum, it forms networks and representational surfaces, it is interested in architecture, art and education, it transforms exhibition spaces into urban spaces and vice versa, it intervenes and invites, it aims to be a meeting place and a temporary archive.
The project provides food for thought for an intensified debate on existing antagonisms in urban space (workshops), initiates knowledge transfers from and into international discourses on urbanity (symposium), illustrates their translation into artistic practices (exhibition on “public time”), and explores and dissolves the boundaries between institutional and public spaces (Site Specific [Public] Lessons).
A special issue of Camera Austria International magazine accompanies the project that is taking place in a cooperation of Camera Austria, Forum Stadtpark, Urban Subjects and the artists Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch.
