ESCAPADES
All year 08
Idea / Concept: Linz09

Linz09 flirts with its environs. In this case a bit on the side is not just tolerated, society in and around Linz even expects it.
A Capital of Culture indulges in ESCAPADES yet no scandal follows. Interesting events in and around Linz are supported in terms of content, finance or communications. There will be a series of debates that invite participation and challenging changes of perspective. Workshops, symposia, debates and talks, all carrying the brand name Capital of Culture will tempt audiences to risk an escapade. The consequences will be thoroughly positive. The result will be that in addition to the artistic contributions and the cultural events a conversation is established that is European in scope. This will ensure that preparations for the year 2009 achieve the widest recognition, mobilize forces and generally establish links within the European sphere. Such a conversation will enable Linz to break free of predetermined schedules and publicize its vitality to a wider audience.

Cooperations with a number of changing partners
