S P L I T T E R W E R K : Project Space + Permanent Exhibition + Publishing + Collection + Archive + Ateliers. The internationally active Atelier SPLITTERWERK was founded in Graz in 1988 and since then has established itself as a brand for fine arts with it's independent positions within contemporary architecture as one of the world's meaningful collectives. Since 2015 the idea exists to make the headquarters of SPLITTERWERK in the skyscraper on St. Peter-Pfarrweg 30 more accessible to the interested public. Since then a permanent exhibition with selected works of the Atelier's formation, it's project archive, library and studio workplaces has been established on the premises. From June 2017 onward the project space will start with it's program. Edith Hemmrich and Mark Blaschitz will give their current and very personal insight into their world with a selection of both new and established positions of their local and international environment.
