As part of Public Art in Tyrol (Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Tirol), supported by the Province of Tyrol, the project ÜberEck by the artist duo KuenneGrote will be opened on August 16, 2025 at 4:00 PM at Haus Kitzbüheler Str. 48, 6365 Kirchberg. The installation will be on display until August 31, 2025. Starting from August 11, artists Gabriele Künne and Andrea J. Grote will begin working on the site along the Kitzbüheler Straße.
With a humorous and thought-provoking approach, the project ÜberEck addresses the impact of increasing traffic and dense building development in many Tyrolean towns, where houses often stand directly on busy streets without any front garden or sidewalk.
In a multi-day intervention, the artists wrap and partially "protect" the corners of houses with ski protection mats, climbing ropes, and carabiners. These materials—normally used in winter sports and mountain activities—create a striking and somewhat disorienting image when repurposed in the summer and urban context. They become visual markers of the transformation of a local streetscape.
The artists are looking forward to your visit and will be happy to answer any questions.
