VORBRENNER is a contemporary art platform that promotes process-oriented work across all disciplines and genres. It offers short-term opportunities for collaboration for both collectives and individual artists in search of new insights and contemporary forms of expression that engage with an interdisciplinary concept of art and science. The focus is on a movement that is curious, experimental, researching, and developing, that welcomes the unfinished, the paradoxical, and the fragmentary. For exploratory trials of such nature, VORBRENNER provides the BRUX premises along with infrastructure and financial resources.
VORBRENNER has at its disposal an annual fund of EUR 40,000.00 for developing new projects (funded by the City of Innsbruck and the Province of Tyrol). This amount is available to the projects and their applicants and will be distributed among the various projects and receive funding in the form of money, space, technology, PR, and consultation.. The advisory board coordinates the distribution of funds and the available infrastructure for the various projects. The selected applicants are then supported in the project’s implementation, budgeting, coordination, administration, and documentation by VORBRENNER
Called for are interdisciplinary projects with an experimental approach that work within the intersections of architecture, visual arts, film, photography, literature, music, performance, theater, virtual/extended reality, and beyond. The projects can be performative, installative, or participatory, with no specific content requirements. The quote may be understood as an associative impulse.
Together, the VORBRENNER projects form an annual program implemented in the months of April, June, September, and October. During this period, the spaces of BRUX are available for project work and events. Alternatively, projects can also be implemented in public spaces in Innsbruck/Tirol.
