Intergalactic Space for Individual Art
Art fulfills, inspires, lets people blossom – and helps to break down barriers and prejudices. Artists with disabilities experience this time and again. They have been artistically active for a long time, but they remain unnoticed. They find themselves in an intergalactic space between galaxies – black and empty, with only a few stars shining in the form of their paintings. The question of “Where do I come from, where am I going and who accompanies me on my journey through the galaxies?” is the central theme of this artistic exploration in the Individual Art Space, where artists with impairments from KUNST St. Pius exhibit artifacts (pictures and videos) that deal with this intergalactic space. It is about visibility, appearance, perception, sensitivity, inclusion and participation. More information about the individual artists and their art can be accessed via QR codes placed next to the artworks in the black box of the Individual Art Space; a virtual galaxy space with works by the artists of andersART can be visited, too.

KUNST St. Pius
For two decades, Caritas Upper Austria has been promoting art by people with special talents, who have subsequently become professional artists. KUNST St. Pius is thus not to be seen as occupational or art therapy, but as a space for individual creativity. Every year, a workshop takes place in which invited artists work intensively with artists from KUNST St. Pius in the fields of painting/graphics, sculpture, photography and literature. This year’s theme is intergalactic space.
