Best OFF Summer Freshness - Art University Linz

The Art University Linz is once again embarking on a summer retreat, and this time it will be philosophical. The 6th Summer Retreat of the Art University Linz, as part of the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks Gmunden, positions itself as a contemporary exhibition and research format at the intersection of art, philosophy, and public space. Temporary artistic works are being created in Toscanapark Gmunden and the adjacent former Thomas Bernhard Archive (Villa Stonborough-Wittgenstein) that reflect language, space, and social responsibility. The format establishes significant cultural landmarks, strengthens Gmunden as a vibrant place for contemporary art, and extends its influence beyond the Traunsee region into the international discourse. Once again, the Art University Linz and the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks Gmunden demonstrate their diversity and promote international exchange even in the more rural regions of Upper Austria.
