>> Art in the Graz District Gries




In the summer of 2003, an exhibition took place in the public space of the Graz district Gries. In selected places of the area, artists from all over Europe realized utopian interventions.

15 artists from Austria and various European countries chose specific places to create art works between reality and utopia. The result is contemporary art which deals with certain aspects of the district and risks a view into a possible future on several levels.
