Intro Graz Spection
The Intro-Graz-Spection , IGS for short, is an artists' association and art initiative from Graz and was founded in 1989 by Christian Marczik , Wolfgang Gärber , Bernd Höfer and Werner Schwab .
Since then, over 100 different interdisciplinary individual projects have been realized ( visual arts , literature , theater , rock music , film , architecture , photography, etc.). What they have in common is the development of new perspectives, the decentralization of presentation spaces, the content-related migration of peripheral art and living spaces as well as international exchange.
