Deutschvilla / Society for the Sponsorship of Modern Art Writing in Pictures 21.06.2014 – 20.07.2014 She writes... Rosa von Suess After only 20 years' usage as a summer residence, the villa built in Strobl in 1896 by George Schinteffe-Blacky, and acquired by the Deutsch family, was appropriated by the Nazis, was restituted, became a casino for the clientele of the American occupying forces and then a summer school for the University of Vienna. Finally, the distinctive building came into the possession of the Municipality of Strobl and, since the end of the 1990's, has been an important site for contemporary art in the Salzkammergut. The group surrounding the "Deutschvilla – Society for the Sponshrship of Modern Art" is responsible for the exhibitions in the house which mostly take place during the summer months. Until 20 July, works by the artists Astrid Esslinger, Ursula Hentschläger and Petra Kodym are to be seen, amongst others. Together, they produce text in pictures which, first through critical new configuration succeeds in becoming an established order and is written through the authorship of the artists: pictographs and logos of the global market economy (Esslinger), verbs and differentiating prefixes of lexical variance (Hentschläger) as well as sayings and titles from the promises of the health and advertising industries (Kodym). "Writing in Pictures" also shows works by Peter Assmann, Charles Kaltenbacher, Josef Ramaseder and Werner Schimpfl.
