Heritage

Graz’s Triester district, a part of town of little appeal, is to be surveyed. What will happen to this inheritance now? A project about origin, identity and property.

More than one year ago, the Schaumbad communal studio moved into an old industrial building in Graz’s Triester district – on the edge of town with a minor attractive neighbourhood: abattoir, refuse disposal site, prison, shabby estates. To find their own role in this spatially, economically and socially exposed setting, the members of the studio centre began to map the area and to embed it in projects with a local reference.

This process of appropriation is to be continued at steirischer herbst – the aim of “Heritage” is to illuminate the process of inheritance, that is the discovery and acceptance of legacies. The project will be carried out in the form of research and interpretation, with a self-critical stance and the aim of (re)inventing origin, identity and property. The project combines several separate contributions in an “archive of fictional realities” of the Triester district. It forms the core, basis and background of an exhibition, guided tours, readings, short lectures, and scenographic miniatures, all coordinated with the motifs of the exhibitions and functioning as the project's supporting programme. Imagine a convention of “the gay science”.
