The “body” is under pressure. There is little that is so close and essential to us as the idea and the substance of the body, and at the same time so shapeable and vulnerable. Thus it is not surprising that not only the perception and interpretation of the body in general has become so diverse and controversial, but also its depiction in sculpture, whose traditional approaches to materiality, shaping, hybridity, and fluidity are all now being redefined. Today there are new paths in sculpture that aim to better grasp in form our contemporary sense of the body and its diverse interpretations.

Bianchi’s immersive sculptural installations reinterpret the concepts of sculpture and of the torso, taking seriously the sensitivity and distress of the human body as subjected to manifold pressures, and expanding and updating its forms of expression. The place of the body in society, exposed to all the increasing demands of our time, plays a key role – both from a biological and a technological perspective. Bianchi works primarily with found objects from his own environment, drawing our attention to the excesses and wastage of contemporary consumer culture.

Celina Eceiza: Ofrenda

Video

4.12.2025

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.

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.

Ofrenda

Slide show

18.11.2025

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.
