Under the motto “Highest Railway”, the renowned biennial festival featured places and communities along the Summerauerbahn between Linz and Horni Dvoriste. The festival thus celebrated its 30th anniversary. Marlene Hausegger, Janina Wegscheider, Mario Friedwagner and Davide Bevilaqua were responsible for the program under the direction of club chairwoman Fina Esslinger.
A total of 40 projects were realized by local and international contemporary artists, including an installation by the Belgian Tom Bogaert in the Kefermarkt parish church and a six-meter-high scaffolding by the Linzer Pia Mayrwöger on a meadow in Kefermarkt, which looked as if it were going to erect. Particularly moving was the project by Seth Weiner and Antoine Turillon, who, together with twelve other artists, commemorated the Gusen III subcamp in the old train station in Lungitz (Katsdorf municipality). The old indoor swimming pool in Gallneukirchen became a concert stage last weekend with the “Sound Festival”.
150 participating artists
A total of 150 artists took part in the festival. A further 90,000 people were reached via the festival’s social media channels. The aim of the festival is to bring contemporary art to rural areas.
