A Living Room
Nicole Pruckermayr 

To accompany the exhibition Domestic Drama, Nicole Pruckermayr has planned a tour of places in Graz with living room character — at least after a closer look. Questions of representation, gender, and also ecology and the usefulness of public spaces are the focus here. These places are also related to current and past artistic interventions.

Beginning at Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz (Liebenau), the tour proceeds on foot into the inner city. At this newly inaugurated square honoring the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Pruckermayr will talk about the plan for the design of the square as ​“drawing peace tables,” which was realized as a public intervention as part of the Year of Culture in Graz in 2020 in cooperation with the Kinderbüro, the Volksschule Schönau, and the artists Edda Strobl, Isa Riedl, Johanna Regger, and the artists’ duo studio ASYNCHROME. Via Raiffeisengasse, Grünanger, Puchsteg, and Pomispark, the route leads to the Messevorplatz and finishes in the park next to the Styria Center. Themes such as traffic routes, housing at the periphery, and urban infrastructure will also be addressed, as well as the places where the youth meet and spend time.
