POI beating heart

Windows began to glow, pulsate and form a beating […]
POI: GINA loves!
The artist Nicole Pruckermayr links the history of the local people in her multidimensional tattoo on the façade of the Tennenmälzerei “GINA loves!”. With 40,000 knots tied, her highly visible work spans an arc from the love story of Gina Agujari, Peter Reininghaus’ mother, to the love stories of the residents of Reininghausgründe.
POI: Gesture
A drawn linear form glides around the manor house as an accentuation of the façade. A gestural artist’s signature that enters into a dialog with new and old architecture and connects all four sides of the house as a matt golden texture – sometimes denser, sometimes looser, sometimes curved, sometimes as a straight line.
POI: Zum goldenen Ast
The art of living and working together is also illustrated at reininghaus zehn with an art object on the roof. The artwork “Zum goldenen Ast”, by Graz artist Alfredo Barsuglia, stands as a symbol for nature and climate, and at the same time invites communication. According to the motto: “Let’s meet at the house with […]
POI: Humiverse

They […]

In a game […]
POI: Graz Fairytale Railway
Since November 2014, the Grazer Märchenbahn has been running again through the depths of Graz’s Schlossberg. Originally, the branched tunnel system provided shelter for the people of Graz during the Second World War. Since the 1960s, visitors have enjoyed rides on the old grotto railroad. Much has changed since then. During the ride on the […]
Arkestra of Light: levitate
OchoReSotto (Lia Rädler, Volker Sernetz, Stefan Sobotka-Grünewald), Monique Fessl A complex of four houses stands in the darkness of the night. The walls are static, rising rigidly into the air. The windows seem like eyes waiting for something to happen. Suddenly: light! It shines and sounds and the houses become a large projection screen of […]
those sounds are wrapped in scars
The sound installation ‘those sounds are wrapped in scars’ is based on the idea that we never perceive surrounding architecture and objects neutrally, but can hear their stories. The sound of a room or an object and its intrinsic resonance are made up of its material composition and its spatial dimensions. Every change, be it […]
