Group Show
OK Center for Contemporary Art, Linz
You'll Never Walk Alone. The show traces the enormous emotional impact of fandom and positions art, film, documentation, the self-aestheticization of fans and fan commerce in a highly charged relationship. From the everyday cultural rituals of the crowd, through hooligan branding and all the way to domestication in the "disneyfied" and rigidly monitored entertainment arenas of the present. Works by international artists.
You'll Never Walk Alone - Football and Fan Culture
Starting June 9th there will be excitement and prayers, tears and shouts of jubilation, fist fights and dancing, racist jibes and anti-racist agitation: The World Cup inflames the passions of millions. The O.K Center for Contemporary Art traces the enormous emotional impact of fandom and positions art, film, documentation, the self-aestheticization of fans and fan commerce in a highly charged relationship.
You‘ll never walk alone - the exhibition named after the legendary battle hymn from Liverpool additionally seeks to reconstruct changes in the concept of fans through a reflection on the space of the stadium: from the everyday cultural rituals of the crowd, through hooligan branding and all the way to domestication in the "disneyfied" and rigidly monitored entertainment arenas of the present.

Local-Buhne Freistadt
WM Studio
Who is not familiar with them - the busy TV reporters and enthusiastic football commentators? During the World Cup the Local-Buhne Freistadt takes a different track and turns the screen analysis over to artists. Before, after and during the game. Surprising insights and interesting moves are guaranteed.
With Gustavo Artigas /MX, Ingeborg Luscher /DE, Paul Pfeifer /US and others.
10 June - 9 July 2006
Lebzelterhaus, Vocklabruck
Aubenfeld
A white ballet with brown spots in the football changing room, an Association for Ball Disruptions illuminating the connections between football product design and development policies, a chill-out zone with an interactive table football game. Political, economic, playful: the Lebzelterhaus presents three unusual artistic approaches to the "phenomenon of football".
With Chris Muller /AT, Mario Sinnhofer /AT, Gerd Trautner /AT
4 July - 13 August 2006
Gallery of the City of Wels
football-Free Zone
n conjunction with the World Cup, football has become socially acceptable; the hype does not even spare artists and art institutions. The Gallery of the City of Wels counters this overkill of "football art" with an "anti-football zone".
