URBAN ART FESTIVAL STYRIA

05-14 SEPTEMBER 2024, Graz

International festival for street art, graffiti, music, media art, upcycling, design and crossover

Lots of color, cool beats, interactions, media art, design and upcycling are promised  by this year's "Urban Art Festival Styria", which will take place from 5 to 14 Sept in the city of Graz and in various regions in Styria.

The 7-storey STUWO building, StudentCity Graz, is a festival center and art workshop in one. Urban underground art to participate in and try out.

Throughout the festival, international stars of the art scene and young up-and-coming artists will work together on new innovative projects and then realize them in public. The STUWO building itself will also be transformed into an “inhabitable work of art” with exhibitions and installations.

International stars of the art scene such as Daan Botlek (NL), David Leitner (AT), KJ263 (DE), Jacoba Niepoort (DK) as well as young artists and artists from various European countries will work together on new innovative projects and present them to the public. The STUWO building itself will also once again become a "habitable work of art".

In addition, new locations will be used again this year. Events will take place at Citypeach, Stadtbalkon, Umspannwerk Keplerbrücke and Stadtstrand Graz.

Special highlights of the festival are the art projects with the international designer Katell Gelebart from France. She uses everything “that is there”.
Beverage cartons, pasta packaging, plastic bottles, old clothes and postbags - Katell Gélébart uses unusual materials and ideas and the principle of recycling to create clothing, accessories and furniture. She works in many countries around the world and wants to show that things that are seemingly no longer needed are valuable raw materials.

The music program is also particularly innovative.  The festival focuses on in-house productions and new interpretations. Like in a music laboratory, music is composed, produced and premiered.A wide range of musical styles is on offer, from Styrian dialect pop with SladoledLoveKomet, crossover with Dave & the Coverdudes, Balkan music with Juan Carlos Sungurlian and Ukrainian Avant Garde through to Armenian music by Erasmus+ participants provide a cool groove.

URBAN ART FESTIVAL STYRIA

05.-14. SEPTEMBER 2024, Graz

Internationales Festival für Street Art, Graffiti, Musik, Medienkunst, Upcyling, Design und Crossover

Viel Farbe, coole Beats, Interaktionen, Medienkunst, Design und Upcycling verspricht das diesjährige „Urban Art Festival Styria“, welches vom 5. bis 14. Sept in der Stadt Graz und in verschiedenen Regionen in der Steiermark über die Bühne geht.

Das 7stöckige Gebäude der STUWO, StudentCity Graz, ist Festivalzentrum und Kunstwerkstatt in einem. Urbane Untergrundkunst zum Mitmachen und Ausprobieren.

So werden u.a. Plätze, Wände und Objekte in Form von Street Art in Farbe getaucht, Recycling-Material wird zu Fashion und Kunstwerken verarbeitet, und junge neue Musikströmungen aus vielen Teilen Europas werden öffentliche Plätze zum Klingen bringen.

Internationale Größen der Kunstszene wie Daan Botlek (NL), David Leitner (AT), KJ263 (DE), Jacoba Niepoort (DK) sowie junge KünstlerInnen und Künstler aus verschiedenen Ländern Europas werden gemeinsam neue innovative Projekte erarbeiten und öffentlich präsentieren. Auch das Gebäude der STUWO selbst wird wieder zu einem „Bewohnbaren Kunstwerk“.

Zusätzlich werden auch heuer wieder neue Locations bespielt. So finden u.a. Veranstaltungen am Citypeach, Stadtbalkon, Umspannwerk Keplerbrücke und am Stadtstrand Graz statt.

Ein besonderes Highlight des Festivals sind die Kunstprojekte mit der internationalen Designerin Katell Gelebart aus Frankreich. Sie verwendet alles „Was da ist“. Getränkekartons, Nudelverpackungen Plastikflaschen, alte Kleider und Postsäcke - mit ungewöhnlichen Materialien und Ideen und dem Prinzip der Wiederverwertung schafft Katell Gélébart Kleidung, Accessoires und Möbel. Sie arbeitet in vielen Ländern der Welt und will zeigen, dass Dinge, die scheinbar nicht mehr gebraucht werden, wertvolle Rohmaterialien sind.

Besonders innovativ gestaltet sich auch das Musikprogramm.  Im Blickpunkt des Festivals stehen Eigenproduktionen sowie Neuinterpretationen. Analog zu einer Musikfabrik wird komponiert, produziert und uraufgeführt. Eine große Bandbreite an Musikrichtungen, angefangen von steirischem Dialekt-Pop mit SladoledLoveKomet, Crossover mit Dave & the Coverdudes, über Balkanmusik mit Juan Carlos Sungurlian und Ukrainischer Avant Garde bis hin zu armenischer Musik von Erasmus+ Teilnehmern sorgen für einen coolen Groove.
