STWST84x11 FOG MANIFESTO

Flooding The Zone With Fog

Stadtwerkstatt / STWST (AT)

With STWST84x11 FOG MANIFESTO, STWST explores fog as a material, medium and network. In its showcase extravaganza, Stadtwerkstatt presents disoriented works and foggy continuities between theory and artistic practice.

With MANIFEST, EXHIBITION and FOG BOWLING, the building becomes a FOG CUBE. The Stadtwerkstatt invites you to FOGGING AROUND—and to a spectacle of reduced foresight, hallucinatory consciousness, veiled visibility, and unverifiability.

The STWST thus focuses on its core themes: Art after new media, new contexts, critical production, and increasing contradictions. It is about foundations, continuities, and a deeply flowing imagination as material.

In 2025, STWST84x11 stands for genre-free art in the anti-white cube of the house. Together with its allies and accomplices, STWST presents exhibition pieces, installations, performances, discourse, theory, and transformation, mixing it all up with two nights of NIGHTLINE.

    STADTWERKSTATT / STWST (AT) & Non-human Collectives

    Against the backdrop of the growing impact of digitalization and its extractive practices, STWST outlines with FOG MANIFESTO a building made of fog—and becomes a FOG CUBE in the technocapitalist storm.

  • CLOUDED EXHIBITION

    STADTWERKSTATT / STWST (AT) & Various Associated Artists

    With the CLOUDED EXHIBITION, Stadtwerkstatt presents foggy works and critical continuities between theory and artistic practice as an overall artistic concept throughout the entire building.

  • NEBELKEGELN (Fog Bowling)

    STADTWERKSTATT / STWST (AT), Combatants and Guests

    This year’s Stadtwerkstatt art event NEBELKEGELN stages a spectacle of reduced visibility, diffuse events, invisibility, and unverifiability with its bowling tournament in fog.

  • FOGGING AROUND NIGHTLINES

    STADTWERKSTATT / STWST (AT), Various Sound and Performance Artists

    The STWST stage incorporates the FOG CUBE into its curatorial concept and presents two nights of sound art in the fog. FOGGING AROUND will bring deep and experimental sounds into the early hours of the morning.

  • Stadtwerkstatt / STWST

    The Stadtwerkstatt / STWST has existed since 1979 and is the first autonomous art and culture space in Linz. From the very beginning, STWST has been synonymous with initiative, activism, subculture, and constantly redefining art practices. In the context of new media and media art, the initiative has a history of relevant projects dating back to the 1980s. Today, Stadtwerkstatt works in the fields of new art contexts and runs media such as the newspaper Versorgerin, the music club, and Cafe Strom. Between art, media, criticism, music, the underground, and the mixed spheres of the house, activities take shape that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and motivated by artistic, cultural, technological, and socially relevant intentions.
