ANNUAL THEMES OF EARLIER YEARS
The annual themes and claims were created in the respective years. However, the contents of these flow into the STWST projects beyond these years. Back to the current claim
STWST 2023 COLD RESISTANCE / Annual Claim 2023
ANNUAL CLAIM 2023:
COLD RESISTANCE settles between minus art, tech anarchia, meltdown and climate catastrophe, between the cool criticism of the mind and the resistant world of retreat. Outside: Smash! Inside: Lying in bed and being critical!

MMXIX – 40 Jahre STWST – STAY UNFINISHED / 2019
Annual Theme 2019: Founded in 1979, Stadtwerkstatt will be in 2019 - 40 years. STWST's annual claim for 2019 is “Stay Unfinished”. It's about looking at the art of the past and the projects of today. It's about history and the present, it's about process, transformation, becoming - it's about looking ahead. We remain unfinished. Against the finished ones.
PROSECCO CITY OF MEDIA ARTS / 2018
Question 2018: Is drinking Prosecco already Media Art? In 2018, while Official Linz was celebrating the Unesco City of Media Arts, Stadtwerkstatt proclaimed the PROSECCO CITY OF MEDIA ARTS. A campaign on event culture and the inflationary use of the term Media Art. In 2018 … We were so Prosecco!

No Architects / since 2009
Theme since 2009: No Architects refers to the spontaneous, the wild, the resistant. No Architects is the recurring motto of Stadtwerkstatt, because here is the potential of creativity, for new spaces and projects between art, nature, information and social issues. It is about planning and wild growth, about freedom in ideas and about improvisation.
