Since 2005, BIG ART has been supporting and developing “Percent for Art” projects
in and on selected buildings managed by the Austrian Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (BIG). In view of a growing body of artworks
and artistic interventions,
the necessity of renovating and extending buildings, and the general shortage of space, the
question of how to preserve and archive these artefacts is becoming increasingly urgent. BIG understands this problem as one
of the cultural and sociopolitical challenges facing us today and joins experts from a range of disciplines to discuss the
structural conditions that need to be created in order to ensure the necessary scope for both preserving the old and enabling
the new.
