Triennale Linz 1.0
04.06.10 – 26.09.10
Broad overview, very relaxed
Only recently, in 2009, Linz was awarded the title “Culture Capital” and now the city has set its sails for a new event that takes place every three years: the Triennial Linz 1.0, which offers Austrian artists a platform and is planned to take place until September 29, 2010. The three exhibition venues in Linz: the Lentos, the OK and the Landesgalerie are displaying works by 114 Austrian artists.
On its basement floor, the Lentos is presenting videos that are definitely worth seeing: Adnan Popovic’s animated music video “Laokoongroup” fascinates by combining a great idea with video animation and music and the plot of Synes Elischka’s and Ulrich Kühn’s award-winning “Lifeshow RMX” as well as its symbolism inspire reflection. The show continues on the upper floor, but at first sight the multitude of installations and objects are confusing; yet thanks to Pirmin Blum’s work one also finds a quiet antithesis.
The Landesgalerie presents examples of new Austrian photography depicting landscapes and documentaries that are shaped by personal impressions. They all tell their own stories. Among the highlights is Timotheus Tomicek’s work, which focuses on the pendulum motion between past and present, underlined by this special form of presentation. The quality of his work stands out from the numerous other photographs.
The OK displays diverse works. Among them Florian Hecker’s elegant tuning forks, their design being a perfect example of applied art. They may be used by the museum audience and not only does their unusual sound, which resonates far into the hallways of the OK surprise, but also its theoretical background. At the end of the tour one should not miss the opportunity to lie in Michael Kienzer’s hammock, mounted on the roof of the OK, and muse about the pictures and the justified entry fee for this first exhibition of Austrian art.
