Kunst Flow

Press Conference
Monday, 15 June 2009

Art and business pool their efforts and enter into fruitful relationships. The Rotary Clubs in and around Linz serve as mediators in this project and will identify businesses that are prepared to make their premises available for exhibitions. Subsequently they will make sure that a number of works shown at these exhibitions are purchased. The works of artists from our region may yet come to attract attention in the foyers, halls and rooms of Upper Austrian companies, perhaps replacing some of the more traditional views of the company premises, turnover graphs or other statistical visual aids. Companies are given the opportunity to present themselves to their clients in a different manner or to invite business partners or staff to an evening given over to art. Exhibitions and installations will be accessible to the public at certain times. For the artists, this is a unique opportunity to challenge the public in a way different from the traditional approach in museums and galleries. Conversely they are also able to present their work to a community that may not normally be easy to reach and to establish contacts with the business community.
