Founded as an artists’ collective, Stadtwerkstatt (STWST), a striving, 
living cultural space prides itself as an autonomous structure since 
1979, is celebrating its 40 year existence. In 2019, STWST48x5 „STAY 
UNFINISHED“, the 5th edition of Stadtwerkstatt‘s 48-hour showcase 
extravanganza brings together critical producers and artists to 
negotiate permanently unfinished conditions.

STWST48x5 STAY UNFINISHED presents an array of programming:

STWST New Art Contexts: SANDHOLE by Franz Xaver accompanied by Heike 
Kaltenbrunner, DEEP DRILLING FOR CONTRACTS by Tanja Brandmayr, 
ml-iso|la|tion|ism by taro, GIBLING LUCIFERENSIS by taro and Eva Grün, 
CryptoBorders and ŦɏŁᵻⱣⱥ (ŦLⱣ) by Michael Aschauer, the hydroponic 
construct NOTNOPONTON by Jakob Breitwieser, and the ongoing Mycelium 
Network Society hosts an MNS SUMMIT to further recruit the nodes.

Through open call and invitations: SOYBEAN FUTURES by Dimension Plus, 
TeleAgriCulture by Julian Stadon, CIVIL WILDERNESS by Claudia Reiche and 
Helene von Oldenburg, the group APRIORI and the association 
RAUMERWEITERUNGSHALLE Berlin, and Darko Fritz’s I_AM_STILL_ALIVE.HTML 
(2009) is resurrected to remind us the unfinished internet error messages.

Highlighting the unfinished archive of Stadtwerkstatt 40 years, two 
nights of UNFINISHED CLUB under the titles TALK RE:TALK and ACT RE:ACT, 
each including five sessions, demand  the public to stay awake from 
Linz’ sunset to sunrise.  UNFINISHED LIST brings together five existing 
mailing lists (nettime, crumb, faces, -empyre-, spectre) live on radio 
FRO.  Years of mailing lists’ open archives are further processed and 
composted by Shu Lea Cheang’s Composting the Net performance.

Furthermore at STWSTx5: UNFINISHED WORKSHOP, the UNFINISHED SOCIAL 
KITCHEN, UNFINISHED GUESTS and the adding of new layers to PREVIOUS LAYERS.

STWST48x5 STAY UNFINISHED program remain unfinished.
