In September 2008 the “Street Art Passage Vienna” was opened on the initiative of quartier21 as a continuation of an already existing series of thematic passageways in the Mu­se­ums Quartier Wien. The passageways are exhibition venues in public space which are each dedicated to specific cultural forms of expression (comic, sound art, etc).

Moreover, the ”Street Art Passage Vienna“ has a sitespecific setting: the bridge from the Spittelberg – a center of the Vienna street art scene – to the 60,000 m2 cultural area of the MuseumsQuartier is accessible from the Breite Gasse.

Beside the permanent design of the passageway by French artist “Invader” this public venue benefits from its alternating program of exhibitions of both international and local street art and graffiti artists plus an accompanying series of publications.
The street art magazine “beton blumen”, whose issues are designed by the currently exhibiting artists, is published by Schlebrügge.Editor and available at a vending machine directly on the spot. Signed copies of limited artists’ editions of the magazine are up for grabs at the publishing house (schlebruegge.com), at the SUBOTRON shop in the quartier21, at the INOPERAbLE gallery and at THE HOT DOGS in the 7th district. Once per year the works of art can be purchased by auction on the occasion of a presentation in the Freiraum/quartier21.
