Höhenrausch – Art into the City!

From New York’s High Line to the Höhenrausch in Linz: for years, art and the city have been forging new relationships, colonising long neglected urban space. Spreading its wings in 2007 for the first time, the OK has brought a whole new exhibition format to the city. Here we have the story of a spectacularly successful series of exhibitions that has not only given the OK a new identity but has transformed parts of inner city Linz. Internationally renowned exponents of art, architecture and urban development share their experiences of urban intervention and analyse Linz’s new approach.
