Art Education

In order to encourage visitors to see and approach art on various levels, the mediation department of HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark offers formats designed specifically to address different target groups. Concieved as programs to provide information, while offering dialogue and exchange, the focus is also to present art in an enjoyable way. 

In addition to special guided tours for school and university students, we offer tours for visitors in the Walk & Talk series.

Within the context of the exhibitions, we regularly offer tours through the exhibition. Dates and further information can be found on our program site.

With Caroline Mesquita​’s Verdet Bath and Leon Höllhumer​’s The Feast, HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark opens two exhibitions by artists who not only work primarily with sculpture and film, but who are also particularly interested in scenic storytelling.

In both exhibitions, individual works are placed in relation to each other to develop narratives which go beyond simple storytelling. Caroline Mesquita is less interested in depicting individuals than in portraying whole communities, and exploring how certain situations and experiences of social interaction are created through mutual exchange. While Mesquita uses the setting of a public swimming pool to transform her brass and copper figures into a theatrical tableau, Höllhumer has created a series of (video) installations that weave together an episodic sequence of stories. Juxtaposing morbid imagery with more pleasurable scenes, Höllhumer’s piece culminates in an immersive parcours installation, offering a complex and ambivalent narrative experience. Despite the two artists’ differences in content, production and tone, both exhibitions are highly immersive in design, and unexpectedly similar in their ability to captivate the viewer.
