The light is dimmed, and dreamed awake unfolds as a series of scenes and situations with different artworks and arrangements – a lively spectacle that develops step by step before the eyes of the beholders, drawing them ever deeper into the piece’s immersive world. The different scenes are spatially separated through semi-transparent netting, a selection of different textiles. Detailed paintings, puppets, and other artworks meet up with an arrangement that deliberately refers to elements of DIY, or reminds us of a dreamy staging of our childhood. For the music, the artist has selected works from the work of popular hits from her own childhood, as well as sounds of nature such as are used in meditation.

Diego Bianchi: Errores Irreales

Video

4.12.2025

Diego 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
