  • Light Art Biennale Austria http://lightart.posterous.com/

    The Light Art Biennial Austria 2010 (in German: Biennale für Lichtkunst Austria 2010) is the first biennial for light art in Austria. About 60 artists from 21 countries and 4 continents participate.
    The „Biennale für Lichtkunst Austria 2010“ is a non-commercial biennial of light art-projects and the first biennial of light art that happende in Austria. The biennial 2010 has the slogan „private light in public spaces“ and runs in several Austrian cities in the autumn of 2010. It started at September 1st in Linz, nearly at the same time as the ars electronica festival which started at September 2nd. The organisation is done by Gallery Artpark Linz, consultant is Peet Thomsen (USA/Copenhagen/Linz). The selection of the artists was curated. Members of the jury were artists and curators, one of them Laura Plana Gracia from Spain.
    This first Biennial for Light Art in Austria wants to generate a cut surface between society and art. The spontaneous conjunction with art in public spaces leans on the art concept of Joseph Beuys from 1965 “How to define the paintings to the dead rabbit” in Düsseldorf. A dialogue should arise between art and the public. The concept was made by the two founders of the Light Art Biennial, Manfred Kielnhofer and Martina Schettina.
    The Biennial is inspired by a similar Biennial, which was held in the Ruhrgebiet. The Austrian’s theme for the first edition of the Biennial will be “Private Light in Public Spaces”. The name a gentle teasing of the German Light Art Biennial “Open Light in Private Spaces”. The "Light Art Biennale Austria 2010“ has been invited to the contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.) 2010 in Essen, Welterbe Zollverein as an official part of the European Capital of Culture-program Ruhr.2010. The Light art Biennale Austria will be held every two years in various cities in Austria.
