Schaurausch - Art in 50 Shop Windows
An exhibition by the O.K Center for Contemporary Art in cooperation with Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture and the Linzer City Ring
May 11 - June 2, 2007
In May 2007 the city center of Linz is transformed into a living art mile. Over 30 national and international artists transform 50 shop windows into artistic objects. With their ideas and works in showcases, passages and on facades, they create spaces of experience enticing visitors to a "Schaurausch" - a "seeing spree".
A speaking facade, a cascade of books or a zoo made of plastic bags are only three examples of the many unusual objects, photos or videos that enrich the city. This "spree of seeing" contemporary art invites passers-by to linger, to be surprised and to stop and think. The visitor to the city becomes a flaneur setting out on a journey of artistic discovery.
Kuratoren: Paolo Bianchi, Martin Sturm
