Michael Schuster @ Landhaushof Passage, Graz (AUT)

“The mirror that shows what you’re lacking” is one of the largest interface art works I have seen so far.  Austrian new media artist Michael Schuster and his studio have created a new interactive device, which passer-bys and people from and around Graz can interact with.  My first encounter with the art work, located  in a passage from Herrengasse towards the Sterirische Landhaushof about a month ago, made me pose the question towards the art work, What does the art work lack, was my counter-question to the question posed on the art work, that translates the German phrase into: “There are as well mirrors, that show what you lack.” The exact German phrase is: “Es gibt auch Spiegel, die zeigen was einem fehlt.”   Upon my first encounter with the installation in the Landhaushof Passage it lacked depths and colour-proofing, as the writing did not spread towards the entire screen. The next day the guard lacked “health” as he turned up at work sick and had to go home. The art work was fine-tuned soon later as the technicians arrived and adjusted the depths to 5 pixle evenly spread as to appear three-dimensional. At that point in time, a few people engaged with the work into a discussion, after a week or two I felt the need of better adjusting of my spectacles and also my sunglasses needed optical lenses.   I started a co-operation with Optik Fauland, who is my optrician since almost 30 years. We chose Zeiss glasses for my Chanel Sunglasses with plastic glass for security purposes. This smaller scale project was bringing me down to earth after working for two or three weeks on adjusting the work.  My answer to the question posed by Michael Schuster’s art work was: “Time to think in order to develope visionary works.” which also relates to the sculpture in the Landhaushof according to greek mythology a  half-god, half-human Faun, who according to the art work’s title is visionary and gazes directly into the direction into the centre of Schuster’s work. Be it accidentally or by precise calculation the result is perfection.  “Faun with Vision”, 2010 by Martin Karlik  “The Mirror shows what you’re lacking”, 2015 by Michael Schuster    Artist: Michael Schuster  Measurements: 5,5 x 2,5 meter  Documentation:  Daniela Haberz, M.A.; May 2015  Location: Landhaushof, Passage  Steirischer Landtag”The mirror that shows what you’re lacking” is one of the largest interface art works I have seen so far.  Austrian new media artist Michael Schuster and his studio have created a new interactive device, which passer-bys and people from and around Graz can interact with.  My first encounter with the art work, located  in a passage from Herrengasse towards the Sterirische Landhaushof about a month ago, made me pose the question towards the art work, What does the art work lack, was my counter-question to the question posed on the art work, that translates the German phrase into: “There are as well mirrors, that show what you lack.” The exact German phrase is: “Es gibt auch Spiegel, die zeigen was einem fehlt.”   Upon my first encounter with the installation in the Landhaushof Passage it lacked depths and colour-proofing, as the writing did not spread towards the entire screen.

Art Austria AØH Quarterly Selection 2014

My personal Art Consultancy Selection is narrowed down to three main galleries which are definitely worth to be visited in person if you get the chance to go to Vienna in the next few days until Sunday. The first or rather last gallery before the exit presents an installation by two Austrian artists

Michael Kienzer and Franz Riedl, whereby the works of the latter immediately reminded me of my first viewing of Lucio Fontana’s work in New York when I first discovered the international art scene at the age of 17. In a conversation at the art space Art & Function by Sabine Kienzer, I spotted the next generation artists of today and tomorrow, my favorite works were located there respectively in the corner next to the stairs on the first of three levels, which also served as a perfect connection between the art of the Kienzer Family thereby connected from level 1 till -2.

 Michael Kienzer later told me that he was awarded last year’s Art Award for the best installation by medium-aged artists as I told him my personal decision would award this year’s award in this category to him and Franz Riedl, as the award goes to the entire gallery installation respectively and both artists convinced me with their yet subtle but mesmerizing installation that gave both artists the space their work needed to be comprehended in full. To be viewed at Hummel Gallery, see details below.

Wettbewerb Joanneum| Künstlerische Kurzfilme gegen das Vergessen

Das Gedenkjahr 2015 erinnert an das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs vor 70 Jahren. Aus diesem Anlass hält das Institut für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Steiermark in Kooperation mit dem ORF Steiermark einen Kurzfilmwettbewerb ab. Die eingereichten Filme sollen sich auf die Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus in der Steiermark beziehen, einen deutlichen Gegenwartsbezug aufweisen und das Fernsehpublikum überzeugen.

Der Wettbewerb zielt nicht auf historische Rückblicke und die hermetische Auseinandersetzung mit vermeintlich abgeschlossenen Gräueln ab. Vielmehr steht die Erinnerungsarbeit mit aktuellen Bezügen im Vordergrund, die auch eine Auseinandersetzung mit brisanten Themen der Gegenwart einschließt, wie Ausgrenzung, Vertreibung, unterlassene Hilfestellung sowie Geringschätzung oder Missachtung von Menschenrechten.

Aktuelle Perspektive
Aus diesem Grund ist dieses Projekt aus der heutigen Perspektive heraus formuliert: Wie ist das „Nicht-Vergessen“ in der Gegenwart verankert, wie kann es wach gehalten werden? Wie können neue Energien gegen das Vergessen und das Neuaufflammen von menschenverachtenden Tendenzen in der Gesellschaft gewonnen werden?

Kriterien und Preise
Der Wettbewerb richtet sich an Kunstschaffende sowie Studierende bzw. Absolventinnen und Absolventen einer künstlerischen, grafischen oder filmischen Ausbildung ab 18 Jahren.
Die Filme sollen folgende Anforderungen erfüllen:
Steiermark-Bezug
Berücksichtigung der historischen Ereignisse in der Steiermark mit Gegenwartsbezug
Inhaltlich überzeugend für das Fernsehpublikum
Spieldauer: max. 30 Sekunden
Sendetaugliches Format (16:9, HD)
Eine Fachjury wählt 1–3 Gewinner/innen aus.

Preisgeld:
1. Preis: 5.000 €
2. Preis: 3.000 €
3. Preis: 2.000 €

Wettbewerbseinreichungen können bis 30. Oktober 2015 auf folgende Webseite hochgeladen werden:
http://www.museum-joanneum.at/kioer/video-wettbewerb/anmeldeformular

Die ausgewählten Kurzfilme werden von 14.–28. November 2015 insgesamt 15 Mal jeweils unmittelbar vor der Sendung Steiermark heute (ORF 2) ausgestrahlt.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Notiz und stehen bei Rückfragen jederzeit sehr gerne zur Verfügung!

Herzliche Grüße

Exhibition opening Carsten Höller at Hayward Gallery, London (GBR)

Carsten Höller is opening an exhibition at Hayward Gallery in London. After his Tate Commission the slides that allowed you to slide from the upper space of Tate Modern to the ground floor, this work has been bought by Prada ands is now located at the company Prada in Milan.

Höller opens as I already announced a new work at Francesca Habsburg’s TBA Augarten in Vienna on July 10th 2015 where we will visit with AOH Travel on that day.

See the following link for more information about that: https://artconsultancyhaberz.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/aoh-travel-next-scheduled-journey-to-viennas-kunsthistorische-museum-and-tba-augarten-july-2015/
On the show in London more as follows taken from the website of Hayward Gallery.

For art book lovers I can recommend Hans Ulrich Obrist’s interview with Carsten Höller published in the Ringier Books Series.

Carsten Höller: Decision is the artist’s largest survey show in the UK to date. Immersing visitors in a series of experimental environments, Höller’s interactive exhibition explores perception and decision making. To enter the exhibition visitors must choose between two

About the Exhibition | Carsten Höller: Decision 10/06/15 06:48
different entrances, behind which lie separate routes through the first gallery. Once inside the exhibition, visitors encounter a range of situations – including the invitation to consume a pill, contents unknown – that ask them to reflect on the process of decision making.
Over the past 20 years Holler has created devices, vehicles and situations that alter visitors’ physical and psychological states. Carsten Höller: Decision offers visitors the chance to see the world upside-down, experience uncanny bodily sensations and soar above London’s traffic in a flying machine. Hoping to ‘induce hallucinations, in the widest sense’ Höller populates the gallery with disorientating objects and installations, including giant revolving mushrooms and two robotically-engineered beds that – day and night – roam the exhibition like a pair of restless, insomniac twins.
Carsten Höller: Decision culminates in the artist’s Isomeric Slides. Accessed from Hayward Gallery’s roof, these slides turn ordinary gallery activity on its head. In a setting usually reserved for contemplation, Höller’s slides are an invitation to lose control. A slide, Höller has remarked, is both ‘a sculpture that you can travel inside’ and a ‘device for experiencing a unique condition somewhere between delight and madness’.

Wednesday 10 June – Sunday 6 September 2015
Opening times
Monday 12 noon – 6pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 7pm
Late night Thursday and Friday, 11am – 8pm

This exhibition invites visitors to participate in ways that may not be accessible to all. Please check restrictions before booking.

Ausstellungseröffnung “Ups and Downs go hand in hand with life”

Die AOH Art Consultancy Haberz präsentiert ihre erste Ausstellung im heurigen Jahr mit dem Titel “Ups and Downs go hand in hand with life”.

Die Gruppenausstellung möchte darauf aufmerksam machen, dass es im Leben nicht immer nur positive Erlebnisse gibt, dass manchmal sogar eine Reihe von Unglücksfällen eintreten kann, man sich aber deshalb nicht einschränken lassen darf in seinem Leben. Mein Vater erwähnt gerne In China fällt a Sack Reis um wenn betrifft, ich antworte gerne Papa Du weisst aber es gibt den Butterfly Effect, der besagt, dass wissenschaftlich bewiesen am anderen Ende der Welt ein Schlag mit Schmetterlingsflügeln einen Orkan in Europa zur Folge haben kann. Hier endet zumeist unser Gespräch darüber was ein umfallendes Chinesisches Reisackerl in Graz bewirkt. Die Ups und Dows jedoch kennt jede und jeder von uns am eigenen Leib und so habe ich Künstler versammelt, die sich in meiner Sammlung befinden und zeige sie mit diesem kursorischen Konzept sowie einige neue Entdeckungen, die ich in den letzten Jahren kennen gelernt habe. Weiter bemühe ich mich um die kunsthistorische Anerkennung von zeitgenössischer Kunst und schreibe derzeit an meinem Buch das meine Ausstellungstätigkeit als Kuratorin der letzten Jahre bespricht und durch Provenienz Zuordnung den monetären Wert von zeitgenössischer Kunst hebt, zugleich den Künstlern die Möglichkeit bietet von ihrer Kunst zu leben und nicht auf die Ämter Bettelei angewiesen zu sein.

AOH Travel next scheduled journey to Vienna’s Kunsthistorische Museum and TBA Augarten July 2015

The next travel to Vienna will be in July 2015.

We will visit the sound installation by Susan Phillips at the new Belvedere space that I announced for the last trip to Vienna and which due to the extensive programme of the Gallery Days has not been visited so far.

As always a visit at the Kunsthistorische Museum is obligatory: http://www.khm.at

Let me know if you need help with travel arrangements and I can recommend the Fernbus by Richard Reisen which travels outbound from Jakominiplatz or Murpark in Graz and inbound from Westbahnhof in Vienna if you live in Vienna vice versa.

Link Travel Arrangements Recommendation: https://meinfernbus.at/booking/search (Early Birds travel for 9,00 € one way)

Link Hotel Arrangements Recommendation: A little quiet central hotel Pension Reimer, which is a run by a lovely old lady and has got fine breakfast: http://www.pension-reimer.com

Furthermore in August we travel to Venice for the Biannial: Link: http://www.labiennale.org/en/Home.html like in 2013 by ÖBB bus, so start your travel arrangements early to safe money.

In case you want to take part in my personal guided tour please let me know in advance under 0660 371 8473 or via email: dhaberz@artconsultancyhaberz.org Guided tours are free of charge but you have to register so that I know how many people to expect.

All my best,

Daniela Haberz
