An intervention by Dagmar Höss on behalf of FIFTITU%
20. October - November 17, 2013 at Stadtraum Linz and the Old City Hall

The project "Lost Territories? Women* in public space." explores the visibility of women* and their achievements. The level of analysis for this was the public space of Linz, with monuments and street names in particular being questioned with regard to the representation of women*. Temporary coverings of prominently placed monuments to male protagonists in Linz specifically point to a lack of visibility of the cultural achievements of female artists and scientists, even in the present day.

We would like to thank the visual artist and former professor at the University of Art and Design Linz
- Renate Herter, as a source of ideas and beyond!

In addition, an eight-part postcard edition will be published.

Every year in Linz, the Women's Art Prize, named after the actress Marianne von Willemer (1784 - 1860), is awarded alternately in the fields of literature and media art. This prize honors the cultural achievements of contemporary artists and writers, but through its namesake it also serves as a representative reminder of the numerous pioneers in art and culture, only a few of whom are present in the collective memory

The project "Lost Territories? Women* in public space." It also explores the visibility of women* and their achievements. The level of analysis for this was the public space of Linz, with monuments and street names in particular being questioned with regard to the representation of women*.
By temporarily covering prominently placed monuments to male protagonists in Linz, the lack of visibility of the cultural achievements of female artists and scientists is also pointed out in the present day

Wrapped are:

• Friedrich Schiller, Schiller Park
• Franz Stelzhamer, Volksgarten
• Thomas Koschat, Froschberg
• Johannes Kepler, Schlossberg
• Anton Bruckner, Untere Donaulände

In addition, an eight-part postcard edition will be published in which data and facts on this lack of presence of women* in public space in Linz will be addressed.
In the foyer of the old town hall, hundreds of names of women* in art and culture are also temporarily inscribed on one of the historic walls, on which visitors are also invited to add their own names
