Our programme focuses
The Neue Galerie Graz dedicates a show to Franz Steinfeld, the founder of modern landscape representation, and in a cooperation with the Halle für Kunst Steiermark (Styrian Hall of Art) deals with the themes of silliness and enthusiasm in art. Social change in Styria over the past 1,000 years is among the topics of interest at the Museum of History. In addition, the so-called "Klauberfrauen" become the protagonists of an exhibition.
A life without electricity? An apocalyptic idea that seems to become more and more a topic in recent times. The Austrian Open Air Museum Stübing shows with glimpses into the past how everyday life can function even without electricity. Teamwork is the prerequisite for the upcoming project, which will open at the CoSA - Science Center of Activities at the beginning of the year: With an Escape Room, the CoSA offers another attractive activity.
Highlights apart from our sites
The STEIERMARK SCHAU "Diversity of Life" focuses on the conservation of species and habitat diversity as well as measures against climate change. It will be on display at Tierwelt Herberstein from April 29, 2023 to November 05, 2023.
And the artist-in-residence program OFFENE FELDER of the Institute of Art in Public Space Styria will continue in 2023 with 11 more collaborations around art and agriculture.

Manfred Erjautz
Skulptur für das Volkskundemuseum am Paulustor
Art in Public SpaceEröffnung: Spätsommer/Herbst 2022
Das baulich aus- und umgebaute sowie inhaltlich neu positionierte Volkskundemuseum am Paulustor wurde 2021 im Rahmen der STEIERMARK SCHAU der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert.
Der Grazer Künstler Manfred Erjautz (* 1966), der hier auch Jahre seiner Jugend verbrachte, wurde eingeladen, sich erneut mit diesem Ort auseinanderzusetzen, um daraus ein Kunstwerk zu kreieren. Nach eingehender Recherche entwickelte er eine mehrteilige zeitgenössische Skulptur, die weithin sichtbar als deutliches Zeichen der Dynamik im öffentlichen Raum zu sehen sein wird.
