AVANTGARD/EN is the artist-in-residence programme of the Capital of Culture project PLATEAU BLO of the University of Art and Design Linz. In cooperation with the religious communities of Austria and the Diocese of Linz, the opening of the Carmelite convent garden in Gmunden after almost two centuries is undoubtedly an event.
Gardens are often intimate places that cannot be viewed by the public. The project contributes to making the garden a place for public dialogue, encounters, reflection and cultural exchange, bringing people from different backgrounds and perspectives together to negotiate the present.
