About the
Project

N-O-S-W (N North, O [Ost] East, S South, W West) in the cardinal directions starting in Graz four new routes are traveled every year in these "Sunday discovery tours". The emphasis is on educating people about the permanent and temporary art projects that the institute has initiated or accompanied. Historical works of art in public space are in focus as well and questions about their representative function and social interaction are raised.


NESW - Never Wash Without Soap 2023

What appears to some as a nonsensical imperative is immediately recognized by others as a memory aid from their school days. Starting from Graz, four routes will be taken in the order of the cardinal directions of N-O-S-W (N North, O [Ost] East, S South, W West).

Launched in 2006 by the Institute for Art in Public Space Styria, the four Sunday discovery tours are taking place for the ninth time. The emphasis is on educating people about the permanent and temporary art projects that the institute has initiated or accompanied. Historical works of art in public space are likewise in focus and questions are raised about their representative function and social interaction.
