be fifty – 50 Years of Visual Education in the City of Salzburg

The exhibition “be fifty” celebrates 50 years of Visual Education in Salzburg and presents artistic works by instructors and graduates from the collections of the City and State. An overview of art in architecture, installations in public spaces, as well as initiatives, collectives, and magazines that have emerged from the department illustrates the productive interplay between artistic practice and academic training.

The exhibition is complemented by a documentation of the diverse projects that have shaped Salzburg’s art scene over decades. At the opening, Luka Leben will read from their works. Accompanying the exhibition are talks, guided tours, and anecdotal time travels that trace the dynamic development of Visual Education in the city.
