Schaurausch
OK Center for Contemporary Art, Linz
Art in 50 Shop Windows. The city center of Linz is transformed into a living art mile by over 30 national and international artists. The thematic approach of the show leads right into the interesting debate about art, advertisment and consum. Whereas shop windows as advertising surfaces involve an act of purchase, window shop art foregrounds purely the act of seeing.
Art in 50 Shop Windows
The city center of Linz is transformed into a living art mile. Over 30 national and
international artists exhibit “Art in 50 Shop Windows”. With their ideas and works
in showcases, passages and on facades, they create spaces of experience enticing
visitors to a “Schaurausch” - a “seeing spree”.
The thematic approach of the show leads right into the interesting debate about
“art”, “advertisment” and “consum”: Whereas shop windows as advertising surfaces
involve an act of purchase, window shop art foregrounds purely the act of seeing.
Unusual objects, photos and videos enrich the city and invite 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.
