Artist Urban Sterzinger from Telfs has recently unveiled a collection of nine oil paintings at the city's unique art venue known as the "Art Phone Booth" located within the Inntal Center shopping mall. The unconventional gallery space, officially called Stadtgalerie Telfs, transforms a former telephone booth into a miniature exhibition space for local artists.
The innovative concept of converting old telephone booths into art galleries has provided artists in Telfs with an accessible platform to display their work in a high-traffic public location. Sterzinger's oil paintings now occupy this distinctive venue, bringing fine art directly to shoppers and visitors at the bustling Inntal Center.
This creative use of urban infrastructure demonstrates how communities can repurpose obsolete technology for cultural enrichment. The Art Phone Booth serves as both a conversation starter and a democratic approach to art exhibition, making contemporary artwork visible to a diverse audience beyond traditional gallery visitors.
Sterzinger's exhibition represents the ongoing efforts by Telfs to integrate art into everyday public spaces. The compact gallery continues to rotate exhibitions by local artists, ensuring fresh content while supporting the regional creative community through this unique cultural initiative.
