The mission of the Institute for Art in Public Space in Styria: to initiate and support art projects in both analogue and digital space. Accordingly, location-related works by regional and international artists are created, as are competitions and symposia in Graz and Styria. Art in the public space helps negotiate social questions from new perspectives. The most varied disciplines are thereby considered, including the visual and performing arts, literature, music, architectural approaches and inter-disciplinary art forms of the present. Works are also on show at several Universalmuseum Joanneum sites – such as in the Joanneum Quarter, for example.
