Tiefenrausch – A multipart project with highlights in the OK and in the Aktienkeller

The point of departure is the Museum of the Underworlds in the OK. In downtown Linz, TIEFENRAUSCH will be visible along Landstraße, where red plastic tubes designed by Linz Art University undergrads are replacing the conventional manhole covers. In the Aktienkeller, OK is staging a major international art exhibition on the subject of “Remembering – Forgetting.” Plus, TIEFENRAUSCH is making available a wide array of guided tours to underground sites that are usually off-limits to the general public: the system of tunnels built by the Nazis, drinking water reservoirs and the crypts of Old City churches.

The exhibition in the OK and the manhole cover project will be presented at a separate press conference on July 10 at 10:30 a.m. in the OK.
A multipart catalog is being issued in conjunction with this project. In the first volume, which is premiering at the opening, cultural philosopher Thomas Macho touches on a broad spectrum of conceptions, locations and conditions subsumed under the heading of underworld.
