Barbara Steiner Boeken

The Kunsthaus Graz exhibition centres on the artist's associative, process-based way of working, interwoven as a convergence of the seen, the experienced and the imagined. Childhood memories and cartoons serve as impulses, as do his own photographs, television images, webcams and current images drawn from the internet. As traces they flow into the painting process, where they are condensed, abstracted or even erased. The exhibition brings together Brandl's most important groups of works - abstract and figurative painting, sculpture - as well as works by Edelgard Gerngross and Thomas Baumann. They are positioned in relation to one another and also to the space of the Kunsthaus, emphasizing their biographical, conceptual and material interconnections. Developed in collaboration with designer Rainer Stadlbauer, Brandl's display is based on his reflections as an artist, translating these into a spatial, architectonic form. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Graz, Austria (23.10.2020 - 07.03.2021).

Today, the Kunsthaus Graz is integral to the urban identity of Austria's second-largest city. The "friendly alien" designed by architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier has become a familiar object in the city since landing in 2003. But views on the building have changed with the times. Looking back at nearly twenty years of history since the building's creation, the book opens up a kaleidoscopic perspective with a primary focus on how the Kunsthaus is used. It contextualizes the Kunsthaus Graz both locally and globally while exploring its relation to those who use it.

The collective's playful meditations on the value systems of capitalism Accompanying the Danish artist group Superflex's latest show at Kunsthaus Graz, this volume presents the gamut of their activities over three decades.

Eine verlorene Liebe. Ein alter Fluch ... Von dem Augenblick an, in dem Lana die Mumie des Prinzen Nefra in der ägyptischen Ausstellung sieht, hat sie ein ganz merkwürdiges Gefühl. Sie fühlt sich hingezogen zu ihm, als sie ihn flüstern hört: „Komm zurück, meine Prinzessin! Komm zurück!“ Lana weiß, dass das unmöglich ist, denn Prinz Nefra ist seit Tausenden von Jahren tot! Bald ist Lana in einem Netz aus Horror und Sehnsucht verstrickt, das sie zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit gefangen hält. Wer versteckt sich wirklich hinter der Mumie und warum terrorisiert er Lana?
