Production specifics
Koproduktion steirischer herbst mit Grazer Kunstverein

The project deals with the phenomena of urbanity within rural environments. We use the term ”Rurbanism“ as a positive new start for the aesthetic construction of architecture that shares the convenience of being connected with urbanity but is situated in a „postrural“ zone. The term ”rurbain“ up to know only has been used in French and describes neither urban nor rural living of the ”banlieue“. Our interest is in those architectures and infrastructures like streets and street crossings, shopping malls, low density living, storages, etc. that serve the city outside of the city and tend to overtake it as we consider the growth of suburban areas like that of GU – Graz Umgebung – the surrounding of Graz – and other regions in Europe. The audience will be invited to experience the forces of rurban live in our exhibition as by joining one of different walks and rides to the ”rurbanside” accompanied by different theoreticians, artists and architects affirmed by local radio programs inside and outside of the city.
