Program

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 interdisziplinary 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.

"I am outside of it in the land of NOPE."

      It has been half a millennium since the Tyrolean mining industry had its heyday. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it gained a reputation that extended far beyond its borders, promising limitless wealth. Today, all that remains are forgotten tunnels, looted caves, and abandoned shafts—empty spaces hidden within the mountainous landscapes surrounding Innsbruck. One must know where to look to find these so-called Knappenlöcher (abandoned mining tunnels). Only a handful of these sites are widely known. While some have been chronicled as legends, most exist only in the memories of past generations. Their vague locations are shrouded in mystery—as if revealing them would mean losing the hidden treasures intended only for those in the know.
      Though the gold has long vanished, the legends remain.
