XAL – Art needs light
Tried-and-tested and yet avante-garde – steirischer herbst is a stimulating festival of international renown. Every year it offers contemporary artists from around the world a platform on which to showcase their work and is thus not only an essential part of the art and culture scene of Styria, but also far beyond. steirischer herbst is different; it is more provocative, innovative, bold – and thus unique. XAL GmbH also departs from well-trodden paths, constantly initiating new and pioneering developments. Our passion is the fascination of light, a crucial factor for human well-being and an essential stylistic device in art. So one reason our partnership with steirischer herbst is extremely important to us is that it serves as a constant source of inspiration.
