PREAMBLE
KÖR Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien continuously reconsiders the change that art and the public sphere undergo. The public sphere is seen as a basis for negotiating political and social affairs. Information and communication are called for as correlative strategies to generate, visualize, and critically question contexts.
The possibilities of art lie in interlinking different forms of perception, thinking, experimental arrangements, and aesthetic experience. Art in public space is capable of responding to special urban places and situations and can reflect and define their conditions and speeds.
The public sphere should present itself as an accessible field in which democracy, opinion forming, and sociality can unfold their effects.
