Three years, 24 locations, 30 projects, and over 60 participating artists.

The 14th volume of the documentation series of KOERNOE contains all projects and outreach programs that could be implemented in public spaces in Lower Austria in the years 2020 to 2022 with the support of the Department of Art and Culture of Lower Austria.

The current volume picks up where previous volumes left off in terms of the abundance of artists who have formulated brilliant, courageous, and surprising approaches and perspectives for a wide variety of functions, themes, and challenges in the public realm. In one case, within the framework of two temporary group projects, the locations of Semmering and Traiskirchen—each with their own specific history and current situations as well as social issues that go along with this—were foregrounded by international artists in a sensitive and complex way. Furthermore, the culture of remembrance, the revitalization of town centers, art in architecture, art in the context of health care centers, and landmarks are just some of the issues in this book for which outstanding solutions have been found through unusual, well-considered, and lasting projects.

The undoubtedly changed role and perception of public spaces during the Covid-19 pandemic is given special attention in three essays by Martin Fritz, Anton Lederer, and Anne Glassner, each of whom lends their own unique perspective.

Volume 14 was given a clear design by the graphic agency sensomatic, and it displays a sensibility for the special aspects of each project. Continuing the basic idea of Volume 13, this publication is a conveniently-sized, clothbound book that includes overview maps, exciting comprehensive information about the projects, and great incentives for taking a daytrip!
