“Für 2012 legt Stuttgart Arttours den Fokus auf das Thema „Stadtbild“. Der Mechanismus von Tourismus soll auf seine realen, virtuellen und politischen Erzählstränge hin untersucht werden. Durch den Call sollen Alternativen geschaffen werden, die sich inhaltlich mit dem Status quo, der Umkehrung, der Neuerfindung und dem Hervorheben existierender Infrastrukturen, Kommunikationsstrategien und Formen kulturellen Konsums, die mit der Tourismusindustrie assoziiert werden, auseinandersetzen und darauf reagieren.
Bei der „Archäologie des Spektakels“ geht es um die Ausgrabung, die Analyse und die Reaktion auf die Touristikindustrie in Stuttgart, die Erfahrung der Stadt als Tourist und die Beziehungen die zwischen einem Besucher und der Stadt entstehen. Diese Untersuchung wird den kuratorischen Rahmen für die diesjährige Saison von Arttours setzen.”
