Stadtwerkstatt is a cultural association in Linz/Austria, founded
in 1979 by art-students. It is a communication platform
for the local art scene and an experimental space for art and cultural
development. Being a vibrant place for an independent national and
international avantgarde underground art scene in the early years,
over the years Stadtwerkstatt became an independent art-media center.
The focus is on critical reflection of the conditions of society and
fostering free cultural initiatives, mainly independent media-projects.
Stadtwerkstatt runs a cultural center downtown Linz. Hosting public
access media structures that were built up throughout the last years
in cooperation with other media activists like
Radio FRO (non commercial
local radio station, 24 hrs a day - also broadcasting
in the net) - and
servus.at (internet service
for art and culture in the region), a Cafe with a
small club-stage, Cafe Strom
and a hall for concerts
and events (dates).
All of these stages (real, virtual and ether) are networked.
Stadtwerkstatt realizes art-projects that are prototype samples of the
interdisciplinary work with main focus on public spaces, audience
participation and technology.
