Try Out Spaces & Places

18.11.2022

Student project

A seminar on the theatricality and performativity of places and spaces in WS22/23 at the Thomas Bernhard Institute dealt with the relevant theories and the history(s) of urban and rural living space development. A parcours led through eight temporary individual works on the topic.

Approaches to activating urban development were discussed and in-depth knowledge of artistic work with communities on site (Salzburg and the Alpine region) was acquired. This includes performative and installative urban projects that develop strategies of intervention, participation and co-determination and directly intervene in the perception of places, spaces and squares.

The students developed temporary individual works that visitors could walk through individually or in small groups. The project was part of the International Days .
