unartproduktion: The name of this bustling Vorarlbergbased publishing company not only seems to be indicative of the publisher itself, but of most of the current literary scene of Vorarlberg. The following overview shall take us there.<\/h1>\n

Ulrich Gabriel is certainly no stranger to the cultural scene of Vorarlberg, being known as an event promoter, a music critic, a writer of Kabarett shows, a columnist, a former politician of the Green Party, the co-founder of the Spielboden Dornbirn and a publisher. His company unartproduktion publishes books and music and constitutes one of the hubs for the tightly knit literary scene in Vorarlberg. Not only does it offer a versatile publishing program focused on local literature, but it also presents innovative concepts for events and communication.<\/p>\n

With its Schundhefte, unartproduktion breathes new life into an old form of cheap dime novels. These subversive, illustrated booklets are intended as first low-threshold steps towards the current literary work produced in Vorarlberg. At this point, they are being given quite some recognition: For instance, Petra Nachbaur was awarded 2016\u2019s Vorarlberger Literaturpreis for \u201cLele\u201d, her satirical contribution to the Schundhefte series.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to attract as many readers as possible to contemporary literature, Gabriel seeks to cooperate with the mass media. Collaborating with vol.at, the most popular news platform of Vorarlberg, and with the event magazine Wann&Wo, he writes a bizarre and comical literary column in a dialogic exchange with the fictitious Baron von Zanzenberg.<\/p>\n

\u201eSpeaking like birds singing\u201c<\/h4>\n

In line with a old bon mot one could state: What separates Vorarlberg from Austria is the common language. As one of many luscious unart events, mundartMai allows
\nother German speakers to fully dive into Vorarlberg\u2019s linguistic culture. This series of events is held across Vorarlberg and in the neighboring regions, promoting the creative linguistic production in the diverse dialects of Vorarlberg and the Lake Constance region in a self-mocking and humorous way. (Please note that the readings are not interpreted.)<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Vorarlberg is tightly packed with numerous series of literary events. Take the V-Lesungen, for instance: At these open lectures, \u201canyone can do anything\u201d. Taking place once a month in different locations, they host literati who read their own works or works of others.<\/p>\n

Vorarlberg\u2019s now lively poetry slam community was boosted by Thomas Astleitner, who is not originally from the region. The L\u00e4ndle Poetry Slams once found their home base at Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s Katze in G\u00f6tzis, a caf\u00e9 that hosts cultural events. Now travelling across Vorarlberg, the poetry slams have become a permanent feature in other literary programs such as the Bregenzer Literatur Tage in September.<\/p>\n

Linking the numerous literary institutions in Vorarlberg together, the literatur:vorarlberg netzwerk has established itself as a key interface. A number of cross-institutional cooperative projects are now coordinated by this platform. Such projects include the literatur:lounge in September that explores graphic novels and the Literaturherbst in October. At the Literaturherbst, Vorarlberg\u2019s cultural institutions will collaborate with partner institutions in the neighboring town of Friedrichshafen.<\/p>\n

On the interface between art and pop, the poolbar-Festival in Feldkirch also provides ample niches for young literature \u2013 for example the campaign \u201eticket-literature\u201c.
\nThe Theater am Saumarkt in Feldkirch is another important and continuously operating location for literary events. Apart from many cross-over literary formats, Feldkirch emphasizes the promotion of contemporary poetry, awarding the Feldkircher Lyrikpreis at the yearly \u201eLyrikpreis-festival\u201c. What enhances this array of events is a program for young poets: In October and November, the poetry competition ABSOLUTELY will be held.<\/p>\n

As for young talent, the Theater Kosmos in Bregenz has reliably sought out young local playwrights in recent years.<\/p>\n
