Art & Third Places: A Stroll through Alpbach Exploring how Art Can Create “Good Places”

Drawing on Harald Welzer's concept of "Good Places", Rainer Prohaska explores the role of artistic practice in their creation. Through an on-site analysis in Alpbach and concrete examples taken from his own work, he examines how art can operate at the intersection of public space, community, and spatial quality. The walk poses the question of how art might serve as an experimental instrument for testing and establishing such places over the long term, and simultaneously acts as an announcement for a more extensive seminar being developed for EFA27. The meeting point is in front of the CCA.
