Diego Bianchi sees each of his projects as an extraordinary adventure in which he connects his immediate impressions, experiences, and knowledge with reality and views it from a critical perspective as something isolated and “foreign,” literally taking it apart and reforming it into something “different.” The result is a kaleidoscopic, apocalyptic reflection of reality, which, in its artistic translation, appears attractive due to the recognizability of aesthetic conventions and markers, sometimes associated with symbolism and codes of taste and lifestyle, yet at the same time repulsive in its depiction of physical deformities and decay. Plastic of plastic and also bioplastic, or Errores Irreales: art works against aesthetics and transience in order to create precisely these and to miraculously expand the white cube through its overall installation. For, similar to the relationship between objects and subjects, Bianchi understands the architecture of the museum itself, in which there is neither an inside nor an outside, but which, as a building in urban space, reflects a supposed reality in order to reinterpret it as a design.

Styrian women during and after National Socialism

26.2.2026

In her research and in the volume Aus dem Blickfeld (Out of Sight), co-edited with Heimo Halbrainer, Karin Maria Schmidlechner demonstrates that the lived realities of Styrian women during the Nazi era and the postwar period were diverse and ambivalent. Hence, she broadens the scholarly discourse on their daily lives while simultaneously deconstructing common narratives such as that of the conformist woman or the so-called “rubble woman.”

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.

3.12.2025

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.
