CROWN-ART-BIM

With his wild mix of comic art and street art, Tom Lohner from Graz is one of the shooting stars of the local art world. His latest highlight: he has designed an “art streetcar” for the Kronen Zeitung, on which he takes an unusual look at the sights of Styria and interprets the print and […]

KLANGLICHT CONNECTED

  In the run-up to the exhibition “Connected. Peter Kogler with…” at Kunsthaus Graz, the internationally active Austrian media artist Peter Kogler made a double intervention at KLANGLICHT 2019. Visitors encountered his hypnotic patterns both on the BIX media façade and in the urban outdoor space. Scarves with a net-like pattern became a highly visible […]

Stages

  Traditional spirituality translated into the present day: The Russian artist Gor Chahal transformed the tradition of Hesychasm of the Orthodox Church into a contemporary formal language in the parish church. In his video “Stages”, created in 2005, the written invocations to God unfold a spatial pull that is hard to resist. For the presentation […]

Wonderland

  A game with the rainbow: Seeing Graz in new colors and from different angles and capturing these colorful moments. The interactive project “Wunderland” showed favorite places of Graz residents – photographed through their own lens and effectively staged with the glass photo filter by Jordan Söderberg Mills. Positioned on the camera lens, Jordan Söderberg […]

H-U-M-A-N-?

  With “H-U-M-A-N-?” in the Landhaushof, Swiss light artist Sophie Guyot poses not only the question of humanity, but also that of perspective. Never to be understood as a statement and also free of criticism, she asks: Are we human? And: What does it even mean to be “human”? In life, there is always more […]

Intruders XL

Their creator, Australian artist Amanda Parer, calls them “intruders”, although the two glowing giants with long spoons have purely peaceful intentions. Under the title “Intruders XL”, two oversized rabbits positioned themselves in direct line of sight of each other at KLANGLICHT 2019 and wanted to achieve one thing above all with their presence: a smile […]

WITHOUT TITLE

  The project “OHNE TITEL, 2019” was originally developed by the Austrian artist Anna-Maria Bogner for KLANGLICHT 2019 and dealt with the question of space. What is space? Where is it located? From the vantage point of the Erzherzog Johann Bridge, viewers saw cones of light hovering over the water. Where they come from is […]

Truck

  Reality melts, truth bends: a bright red truck drives backwards up the wall of the Orpheum. Elegantly bent upwards in the middle, the truck seems to overcome its weight effortlessly and adapt to the shape of the building. As a result of its physical distortion, the commercial vehicle takes on a sculptural character, its […]

Holographic wind chimes 3.2

  Fog rises on the Mur Island. Natural air currents interact with light to form dancing, constantly changing sculptures of mystical beauty that break up the parametric architecture of the surroundings and generate a completely new space through their own forms. Using light, sound and fog, the collective led by artist Jan Raphael Knieza created […]

Luxe

  The traditional Kastner & Öhler store shimmers like a diamond: “Luxe” by Jordan Söderberg Mills plays with the creative possibilities of the “Pivot” light source window by window, refracts the light, captures it again and transforms the glass façade of the building into a jewel of the city. To achieve this, the Canadian artist […]
