The Art Machine presents its 10th edition
For ten years, the Art Machine on Pöllau's main square has provided the easiest way imaginable to become an art collector. For two coins, the machine offers original art in miniature format by renowned and up-and-coming young artists around the clock and has been refilled with new series by old and new artists every year since 2016. With this year's edition, 80 artists with 100 series of works from all conceivable art genres have made this smallest art space in Eastern Styria a popular meeting place for collectors.
Articles in the Wiener Zeitung and in the travel guide "Glücksorte in der Steiermark” (Places of Happiness in Styria) tell of this. As original artistic surprises in the cigarette-pack-sized box, you will find paintings in watercolor, acrylic or oil, graphics, prints, photographs, ceramics and objects made of various materials, even literature, theater and music have already been included.
From the artists' point of view, "the Artmachine presents the challenge of creating works of art in a small space. At the same time, this is also the beauty of being able to create great things with little."
