Production specifics
Koproduktion steirischer herbst mit Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten

Unrealized Projects of the international well known artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov are shown at the Minoriten-Galleries Graz in steirischer herbst 2005: According and in contradiction to the theme of the festival (”City”) the show deals with “more or less an orderly course of escape of civilisation“ (Thomas Kellein). Most of the shown projects were projected for special cities, others are dealing with the condition of life in cities. The common thing of all of them is: They have not been realized. The reasons are not mentioned, but it is not of technical ignorance or ridiculous dimensions or enormous costs for construction. They do exist only as a ”project”, the main form of any ”utopia” which as we know in translation means ”nowhereland”.
