Bildrecht, the Austrian Collecting Management Organization representing over 5,000 Austrian artists active in the genres of fine arts, media arts, choreography, design and architecture, fulfils a special cultural function: by collecting and distributing royalties, offering support programs and awarding prizes, it boosts the artists’ means of subsistence.
Bildrecht also operates four art spaces: Bildraum 01 and Bildraum 07 in Vienna, Bildraum Bodensee in Bregenz and Bildraum Studio, an artist-in-residence program at Brotfabrik Wien. Besides its residency program and exhibitions covering various genres which change monthly, Bildrecht is a longstanding cooperation partner of Ars Electronica.
By contributing the artist statement by Markus Oberndorfer during the festival and an exhibition of Kathrin Stumreich, taking place at the same time in Bildraum 07 in Vienna, Bildrecht exhibits art at the interface between mixed media, technology and research.
