g24

if you want to know what's going on in the cultural underground in graz - like music, art, or even politics you are in the right place at g24.at!
it's a web community from/in graz and it's based on a discussion board and calendar mainly.
basically the idea was to provide all sorts of information about events in graz... but as it is a community, also the community members are contributors, authors, journalists, reviewer, etc.
the calendar involved is a real pleasure! at a single glance you can check all upcoming events, art exhibitions, concerts, discussion, and so on taking place in and around graz.
and this huge community is participating a lot on this board and eager to keep everything updated.
last year in the beginning of june g24 organized their 5th birthday party, based on open discussions on the board, brainstorming about bands, djs, visuals, etc.... of course it was a 24 hour party - what else ;)
and here is the cake ..... and happy birthday ;)

kultur macht mensch!

only a few days ago this poster campaign was started in graz - so you might have already noticed the billboard!
styrian artists, organizers, associations, and art houses got together and want to draw attention to the awkward financial situation for culture and art in styria/austria.

in general a good idea, it just makes me suspicious if the big houses like "grazer oper", "list halle", "la strada" are taking part in these campaigns - because they definitly already get a lot of fundings.

assembly Das Designfestival in Graz

may of 30th - june of 6th 2008

assembly, the styrian design festival, is happening for the 5th consecutive time already. It was initialized to offer national along with international designers a presentation platform. Consistent development and realization secured a continual growth of participants and visitors alike. Throughout the years interesting contents and developments were offered to the audience. This year assembly set its goal to revive Annenstrasse (which used to be THE shopping street besides Herrengasse) starting at Kunsthaus and extending all the way to central station. Temporary shops and an extensive surrounding program are planned to achieve this objective. Furthermore assembly will be one of the leit-projects for the title ‚city of design’ which will be awarded by UNESCO.
