qujOchÖ (A)

The art and culture initiative “qujOchÖ – experimentelle Kunst- und Kulturarbeit” was founded in Linz in 2001. qujOchÖ intervenes in processes at the intersections of art, politics, society and science using methods ranging from artistic interventions in public space, series of public lectures and discussions, musical and visual forms of action or published series of writings, to action-based installations. The approach and modus operandi of qujOchÖ is regularly characterised by a transdisciplinarity of science and art, a special intensity, and a critical examination of customary cultural practices. Active members of the group are Clemens Bauder, Martin Böhm, Johannes Dichtinger, Jakob Dietrich, Lucas Norer, Sun Obwegeser, Thomas Philipp, Doris Prlic, Andreas Reichl and Andre Zogholy. Their recent projects include: „qujOchÖ im Exil“, interventions in the public space, Innsbruck 2009, „Transition Exklusive“, Performance and Video, quitch, Linz 2009, „Tonnuzzi – Ein Schwimmbecken für die Innenstadt“, installation (quitch, Linz 2009), „Dobuschido – Der Film“ (Crossing Europe filmfestival Linz 2009), the audio-video series „Strata Series III“ (Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz 2009), „Leben im Strafraum“, performances, installations and exhibition (Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz 2008) and the installation and happening „We Feed The Idiots“ (quitch, Linz 2007).
