convey developmental perspectives beyond the mainstream, so offering unusual food for thought for a better future.
Art in Public Space Tyrol
Funding Provision 2023
2022 seems to be something of a watershed
year. Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes visible the geopolitical and global economic consequences of an apparently regional
war on European soil. The relative security in which the societies of Europe have weighed themselves in recent decades appears
to be approaching an end. In our interconnected world, it is evident that local conflicts inevitably have global consequences
that are difficult to control. The famous metaphor of butterflies flapping their wings and so generating effects on the other
side of the world is proving more relevant than ever. So, what can be done in the face of impending turmoil? And how can art
respond to the current sociopolitical issues?
Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Tirol 2023 invites artists to propose
projects that deal with the current turn of eras and its possible effects on the Tyrol as a living space, but also convey
developmental perspectives beyond the mainstream, so offering unusual food for thought for a better future.

Since 2008, the funding program
Art in Public Space has been implemented in cooperation between the State of Tyrol and the Tiroler Künstler:innenschaft (Tyrolean
Artists' Association), and financed by the State of Tyrol. For the year 2023, it is being announced for the third time under
a thematic focus defined by the Tiroler Künstler:innenschaft, intended to bracket content while writing concepts and implementing
the chosen projects. The aim of the funding is to promote contemporary art and cultural projects in public space, so making
the discussion of current social issues accessible to a broad public and opening up a dialogue on cultural, social and political
issues. Art in Public Space aims to trigger discussions and become an integral part in the development of fresh perspectives.
In this context there are no limits to the conceivable artistic formats: permanent sculptural art projects,
temporary interventions as well as participatory, performative and dialogical formats in public rural and urban spaces may
be funded. Special attention will be paid to project submissions that are site-specific and have inherently communicative
formats, as well as being inherently sustainable in their implementation. In order to reach the most diverse audience possible,
the projects should represent a synergy between artistic practice and everyday culture. In this sense, the venues of the projects
may be as diverse as the projects themselves, offering opportunities to make art experienceable beyond the boundaries of cultural
institutions.
