Art cycling in Millstatt

Last updated

Art cycling in Millstatt (German: "KUNSTradln in Millstatt") was an international annual art exhibition in Millstatt am See (Carinthia/Austria). It took the form of various art stations throughout Millstatt connected by a bicycle/ hiking route.

Concept and organization

The exhibition debuted 2018, and was repeated 2019 and 2020, based on a long term funding by the European Union (= EU Rural Development Policy 2014-2020). It had stops at various locations in Millstatt and adjacent communities. These art stations formed a loop, which could be visited by art-interested visitors, either walking or cycling the trail (hence the name "Art cycling in Millstatt"). Works by (up to now) about 150 internationally known artists from Austria, Germany, United States, Switzerland, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Poland, Italy, Greece, Spain, South Korea and Guatemala were connected in the yearly exhibitions.

For the first time, this exhibition concept also combined the various existing art and cultural institutions in Millstatt in a joint program. In addition, the concept opened up a number of new and sometimes unusual places in Millstatt as a presentation opportunity for modern art. [1]

The access to modern art at art museums, art exhibitions and art galleries is often characterized by the fact that only an art-interested and art-oriented audience is able or wanting to participate. [2] The project "Art cycling in Millstatt" provided a low-threshold mediating of art as follows:

  1. by giving access over a long period (6 months);
  2. by using Millstatt as a whole as art space for residents and guests alike;
  3. by inviting a non-predefined art audience to participate, including randomly passing people (and cyclists too), who can and may come into contact with art in this way. [3]

From 2021 onwards, "Art cycling in Millstatt" is replaced by a new concept called "millstART". [4] Now the exhibition stations are concentrated in the Millstatt Abbey, and the concept of a low threshold access to art in a wider region was dropped.

Stations and artists

There were 25 stations and 65 artists presented within the project 2018; [5] 62 artists were presented 2019 [6] at 25 stations, too, though some new stations were added and some former stations dropped. 2020 [7] 25 artists were presented at 18 locations, already mostly in the area of the former Millstatt Abbey. Altogether 151 artists were presented at 39 locations in Millstatt between 2018 and 2020.
