"public con temporary"
public - public ( public art - art in public - sculptures, murals, street art )
con - with ( Spanish & Italian - arrived through "chili con carne" )
temporary - temporary / terminable / provisional
contemporary - contemporary ( art )
The title of the exhibition stands for contemporary public art.
It seems like we live in a world of growing privatisation, bureaucratisation, and surveillance, so artists do need to develop some new strategies how to intervene in public.
These interventions are temporally limited.
There are different reasons for that. You sometimes get a permission for the realisation of an artwork, you can sometimes use a certain gap in the system. (chalk drawings by Jens Besser and the sparkler- performance by Kata Huszár)
Artists might install their pieces only temporarily like the bulb – the strolling gallery by Bertram Weisshaar.
Artists of Mehrzweckhalle from Linz ignore being limited. These Linzer artists tried to indicate an own project space which is a certain evidence that there is a massive lack of reasonably priced studios and spaces around Linz.
Dancing and music have always had a significant role in public space. Therefore dancer Teresa Heckel and musician Lü have been selected and invited to this exhibition.
Both artists have been active in contemporary dancing and music scene in Friedrichstadtzentrale in Dresden for ages.
Street artists have different ways to go. Street art has always been unapproved which is meant to be illegal. Street artists use among others found material for their artworks on the streets. They paint walls. Big sized pieces, done by night. They stick self-made cut-outs and put them on feeder pillars. Street art is temporary too, artists leave their pieces in public.
Street art makes a difference bewteen preservation and destruction. Street artists's identity will be a secret during this festival, we'll let them work anonymously.
