Does art have the potential to change society? What can art in fact offer? Who are the masses and what can art tell them? What is the role of form? Can there be a common denominator?
These questions form the starting point of a mailshot – the mass advertising medium – put together by Forum Stadtpark that is being sent to all households in Graz at the start of steirischer herbst: with literary texts, drawings and photographs created as commissioned works for this project, finding an audience that is far larger than that of usual art events, an audience that is incalculable and inestimable. An artistic, activist intervention between newspapers and advertising, for the kitchen table or the waste-paper basket.
