the outside view - Elena Mazzi and Joseph Miceli KURRENT **Art Your Village - the outside view** The exploratory artistic view from the outside is directed towards local communities, traditions and rituals, history and stories, cultural activities, perhaps also conflicts and points of contention. **Elena Mazzi KURRENT Public intervention with Joseph Micelli (Il Letterista)** Kurrent is a project by Italian artist Elena Mazzi. Invited to work in the local environment of Pettenbach, Mazzi decided to start from the cultural heritage marked by the presence of the "Bartlhaus" museum, created by the graphic artist Leopold Feichtinger in the 1990s. His artistic work includes a large number of ex-libris and calligraphic sheets, as well as around 400 sgraffiti. The museum came into being thanks to his personal commitment, when he decided to place his own property at the disposal of the community and to set up an association to give the museum a legal basis. The museum was the result of a collective local effort by the entire community to help the artist complete the building. Based on this context and the realisation that many activities had ceased in recent years, Mazzi invited residents and young people to discuss and rethink public space. People experienced imaginative places, formulated wishes and ideas about what they would like to see in their community. In dialogue with the legacy left by Feichtinger on the walls, Elena Mazzi commissioned Joseph Miceli (Il Letterista) to create hand-painted signs based on the interviews and workshops, which will turn Pettenbach into a place of wishes and utopias - a place with a positive future! The project will be accompanied by a publication to be published in 2025. This will be produced in collaboration with Maryaam Fanni, a doctoral candidate in design at the HDK Academy of Design and Crafts, who is working on signage systems as a technology for controlling the aesthetic order of the city.
