Diego Bianchi: Errores Irreales
Video
Diego Bianchi (*1969 Buenos Aires, lives in Buenos Aires) is considered one of Argentina’s leading artists and has, in particular, updated the concept of sculpture. For his installative and performative exhibition Errores Irreales at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Bianchi has assembled a selection of his sculptures that play with the concept of the body in order to activate them performatively in a specially created architectural setting. For the elaborate and detailed production of his mysterious yet sensitive sculptures, Bianchi uses not only conventional materials but also discarded objects found in the urban spaces of Buenos Aires, Paris, and Graz: these can be inconspicuous, small things that supposedly have no particular value or meaning, or car parts, metals, plastics, and fashion items. The result is a stage-like landscape of sculptures and installation interventions that play with the physical and the quasi-organic-inner in a dystopic and stylish way. In various overlapping settings — sometimes also activated by performers — it becomes a “nebulous whole” that is paradigmatic for the time in which we live. Bianchi uses humor as a subversive strategy to counteract the tragedy of existence and all the current crises by means of a utopian disturbing space.

Celina Eceiza: Ofrenda
Video
A metabolic force governs the growth of Celina Eceiza’s work, which involves textile collages, sculptures, paintings and drawings — both tiny and colossal in scale — as laborious as they are elementary. The artist combines handcrafted textile techniques and processes such as patchwork, found object collages and, more recently, chalk pastels, which give her images a new sense of fluidity.

Slide show
For HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark the artist has developed her first own performative presentation, with a setting for her puppets with three scenes set in an imaginary spaceship, an exhibition, and the spaces that the scenes depict: the Schlouflaboar, the Houloudecks, and the Space Grotto Disco. The piece is a combination of physical theater and puppetry, performed by the artist together with her sister Katharina Arzberger and accompanied by musical interludes arranged by Manuel Obriejtan.

Slide show
Errores Irreales is only truly activated by the performance staged by Diego Bianchi himself in order to complete his theatrical installation, which takes physicality and its limits to a new level.

Ofrenda
Slide show
Ofrenda [Offering] presents a way of inhabiting a space as if the architecture were a body, breathing erratically, changing states as you pass from one room to the next. The rigidity of the building collapses as the walls are draped in thousands of metres of fabric joined together through the collective and timeless action of sewing, until they form a single smooth surface, sensitive to the slightest change.

The conversation between Abaseh Mirvali, director of viennacontemporary, and Sandro Droschl spans Diego Bianchi’s current exhibition and Celina Eceiza’s work in the context of Argentine art history to Mirvali’s many years of expertise and her international career. At the same time, her central role in the dynamic and innovative viennacontemporary 2025 was highlighted.

alias Simone Borghi
Video
Italian composer and sound artist Simone Borghi, alias Morning Séance, expands Celina Eceiza’s “soft museum” in her exhibition Ofrenda at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark with his atmospheric, constantly changing music, using his musical performance to enable visitors to experience physicality, space, and perception in new ways.

Video
Annemarie Arzberger has developed her first original piece for HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, combining her lush, detailed, and often bizarre imagery into a multi-layered stage work that combines physical and puppet theater, dance, lipsync, music, and language. In a three-part, dreamlike theatrical spaceship setting, she brings psychological states, childlike imagination, and social issues to life through characters such as Dolores and the Angst sisters in a performative, poetic, playful, yet disturbing scenario.
