Kuratorenführung — HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark

Exhibition Tour

Sandro Droschl (artistic director, HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark) and Jan Tappe (curatorial assistant, HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark) will guide through the two exhibitions Heinrich Dunst: sink and on affairs. In the main room of the hall, a thoughtfully designed arrangement of works by Heinrich Dunst , who occupies a key position within conceptual art in Austria, opens up. Parallel to this, younger positions of conceptual art run across the entire building, bringing to light the institution of art itself, its rules and structures. What can be learned about the curatorial approach? How can conceptual art be better understood? And what is the connection between conceptual art and institutional critique? Sandro Droschl has some surprising answers in store.
