This year, for the 15th time, the cultural poster prize, which has become an institution, was awarded by the City and Province of Salzburg, ORF Landesstudio Salzburg and Progress Werbung. The award ceremony at the ORF Landesstudio took place for the first time in the TV Garden and was musically accompanied by the Moser Trio. "Silver sparkles a reflective surface of the advertising pillar / triangular stand towards you. On it in heavy pink a sprayed sign, a 'tag'. Both irritate and attract attention. This in its entire form unusual and convincing design of a poster was unanimously awarded first place of this year's cultural poster award by the jury," says Eva Möseneder about the jury's reasoning.

The research project investigates the combination of textile and sound. The aesthetic potential of the textile-sound combination is explored and new possibilities of artistic expression are explored. Textile is an interactive medium and metaphor in its form of presentation and interpretation. Textile is material that uses certain techniques without naming the material or technology itself, similar to architecture. The term sound encompasses the artistic fields of sound art, music, ambient noise, transacoustic fields and silence. Sound is based on a conceptual compositional process in terms of the organisation of sounds, but also has a physical aspect in that the perception of sound is strongly linked to bodily processes such as breath, movement and heart rate.

With the call "Out of the box", the city of Salzburg launched a competition of innovative ideas for the districts of Riedenburg and Maxglan. With "We swarm for the beehive" by Agnes Scherer and "burgglan" by Erik Hable, two of six awards went to members of the Mozarteum University.

Call for papers: For the upcoming conference, we invite scholars and researchers from the fields of art, political economy, architecture, urbanism, history, philosophy, etc. to submit proposals that address historical and contemporary forms of productivity and their social and aesthetic manifestations.
