With their installations, Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger develop extensive, complex world-analyses. Their creative output is marked by vivid fantasy, political orientation, abundant inventiveness, and nimble humor. Now they have turned their attention to a basic foodstuff-namely bread. It is not political activists who are at work here, but two politically thinking poets. What they spread out over four floors is above all a celebration of b...

If the pictures that the artist created are in his studio, the artist can not only destroy them, he can also deny having created them- as he harms no one through this. But as soon as these pictures are circulated-when they are exchanged, sold, exhibited, reproduced, etc.-this puts an immediate end to the untruthful denial of the authorship: an artist who created a work may not untruthfully say of this work that he did not create it. And this i...

It contains a foreword by director Thomas Häusle and a text by curator and art critic Stach Szablowski.

For his project Studio Cairo, the artist Peter Garmusch travelled for a month during 2021 to Cairo where, with his studio as a point of departure, he engaged in an artistic dialogue with the megacity on the Nile. The book tells of this rendezvous with the hidden, the numinous, and the magical. Cloaked cars, elaborately tied-up packages along the edge of a street, abundant accumulations of plastic flowers: Peter Garmusch found the inspirations ...

1503. Mitgliederausstellung ("1503. Members' Exhibition") is appearing on the occasion of the same-named exhibition at the Künstlerhaus Wien. The exhibition-curated by Fanny Hauser and Georg Schöllhammer in collaboration with Johannes Porsch-confronts the present era of the Künstlerhaus with its polymorphic past in which the upheavals, conflicts and antagonistic tendencies in Austrian visual arts are paradigmatically represented. Featuring a d...

Die Bildhauerin Dorothea Nold beschäftigt sich mit ihren skulpturalen und installativen Arbeiten mit der Transformation von sozialen, physischen und urbanen Räumen und deren Verbindung und Wechselbeziehung zu architekturalen Formen. Dabei sind ihre oftmals mit Reisen und Auslandsaufenthalten verbundenen Erfahrungen für die Künstlerin primärer Auslöser für spezifische Arbeitsmethoden, eine dezidierte Auseinandersetzung mit Materialitäten sowie ...

Bernd Sannwald moves around the concrete, steel, and glass creations, which we call cities, like a geologist moves around a quarry: He searches for that, which isn't obvious, for hidden traces, for signs of tectonics, of cracks and deformations, of colors and structures and of how these change. His photographs are the result of this search. An accumulation of evidence of something that he has discovered and that without him, without his photog...

unvollkommen (incomplete) is both title and thematic focus of Lisa Busche's publication, which resembles a workbook. It presents her works of art, which do not have one final condition, but often several that are only visible temporarily and in situ. Studio insights are mixed with exhibition views, handwritten quotes, which are understood as drawings, with photography, which may have acted as inspiration. This collection of image material is...

Thomas Hörl's entire oeuvre is pervaded ecstatically with lozenges as pictorial symbols. As a recurring shape, it plays an indispensable role in his performances, installations, drawings, and collages. Patterns emerge from regular and irregular grid-like lines, which condense and dissolve once again. Whether on fabric or paper, on 210 wooden panels, in different sizes, painted, printed, sewn, or glued, individually or in a structure: this char...

How can an Austrian art museum that has stated its support of a diverse and inclusive society take a critical and appropriate view of phenomena like racism and xenophobia? How can it look at issues such as physical and structural violence, cultural identity, and social exclusion, and also promote the decolonization of thinking? Key points of reference are self-criticism and the deconstruction of the white gaze onto the world, which has always ...

Das phantomastische Malbuch" is a creepy, preposterous, and endearing adventure in painting produced by big artists for little ones, designed for persons of all ages. In this book, phantoms abound, it is filled with eerie ghosts as well as other creatures at a far remove from good and evil, free from the confines of reality! This book is intended to be taken in hand, to be read and used, to be shared and enjoyed with others. This book inspires...

The pioneering artist Carolee Schneemann (1939-2019) embraced a wide range of mediums: from painting to performance, film and video to mixed media and installations, famously applying the gestural physicality of action painting to kinetic environments and performances centered on the body-more often than not, her own. Many of the artist's works have entered the canon of contemporary art, such as Eye Body (1963), Fuses (1964), Meat Joy (1964), ...

The recognition can come in many ways and certainly takes you by surprise. That is what happened when Sergei Sviatchenko after many years of practicing as a visual artist, discovered the blogging culture in the two-thousands, and used it for his art photo project Close Up And Private, CLOSEUPANDPRIVATE.com. Creating the images of men's clothing in a way which he usually works with his collage principles, brought him towards a large audience of...

Exhibition research focuses on the history of the realization and presentation of works of art. There is an investigation of the context, motivation, and manner in which these works arise as well as who participated in their creation and above all in their public display. In these object studies with regard to the visual arts, consideration is given to the respective presentational contexts in their particular spatial, temporal, and conception...

The catalog Floating was published in accompaniment of the exhibition of the same name at Osthaus Museum Hagen. It provides an overview of the artist¿s recent works, which deal with constant change, becoming and passing. Since the beginning of 2018, Monika Kus-Picco has been working exclusively with medicines that serve as pigments. This involves using "expired" medical products and liquids instead of industrially produced paints and pigments...

On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Erwin Heerich (1922-2004), the Stiftung Insel Hombroich is exhibiting drawings, sculptures, models, built and unbuilt works from its extensive collection. The exhibition conveys the theme of walk-in sculptures in its breadth for the first time and offers insights into the thinking and work of Heerich, who never saw himself as an architect but always as a sculptor. Heerich's linking of art and architectu...

The author of the book lovingly calls it a naïve attempt to make the art world a little bit happier. After living and working in the art world for the past fifteen years, Christoph Noe brought pen to paper to gather some thoughts on how to navigate in the culture industry. "It first developed foremost as a guide for myself as I continuously challenge the mission that I am on in the art world, asking myself why I am still doing what I am doing...

In 1977, the artist from Dornbirn known as FLATZ is still a young protagonist in the international art scene and is eager to establish his art as well as himself. FLATZ uses every opportunity, when meeting up with other artists whom he considers to be interesting, to record himself together with them by means of the SX-70 Polaroid camera that he always carries along. This is the origin of the series "Künstler Jäger" ("Artist Hunter") consistin...

Ever since the early 1970s, Werner von Mutzenbecher has numbered among the most important protagonists of the cultural scene in Basel: not only as an artist whose works were presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions and are included in many Swiss collections, but also both as a teacher for many years at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel and through his interim directorship of the Kunsthalle Basel during the 1970s. For many decades, his p...

In her artistic works, Franziska von den Driesch works with analogue and digital photography, video, and also photographic procedures that do not involve a camera. Her pictures, videos and installations focus on ushering the photographic material into visibility and interweaving material and apparent reality. The silver grain as an elementary particle of analogue photography, just like the pixel and the raster as building blocks of conveyed re...
