100 years ago (1918) four of the most important protagonists of Viennese Modernism died: Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner and Koloman Moser. The artist took this opportunity to congratulate the four colleagues on their anniversary by photo.
Photo congratulations are a service of the regional newspaper Tips. You can congratulate your loved ones on any anniversary with a picture and a few words. The design is then created by the editorial staff and then printed in the advertisement section of the newspaper. In addition, a collector’s album with 25 copies was printed to collect and store the congratulations.

Guest Studio in Paliano at Rome

Since 1999, scholarship holders from Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Upper Austria, Lower Austria and Burgenland have had the opportunity to travel to Paliano to realize projects there.

Three months a year it is available to Upper Austrian artists. The artist’s house is located about 60 km south-east of Rome (between the Albanerbergen and the town Anagni).

Already in the 19th century, the landscape in the Ciociaria was the scene of the Tyrolean landscape painter Josef Anton Koch, who had settled in the neighboring Olevano Romano, to capture the landscape of Latium in their special light and the distinctive colours.

The country house – an old, adapted building structure – is divided into two residential units, comprises two floors with several work and recreation rooms and two bedrooms, a communal kitchen and two bathrooms. The rooms are typical simple, but functionally furnished and furnished, an Internet connection is available. Up to two artists per housing unit are sent per month. The studio house is only available to the scholarship holders.

Heimliches Arbeiten beginnt.

audio visual installation and performance, 2018
mixed media, variable size

The installation Heimliches arbeiten beginnt. consists of a video and a ramp, it visualizes an absurd, automated and purpose-free work. The video shows a blue screen and a mouse cursor moving on it — all you can hear is clicking and scrolling the cursor. At the same time, a sheet metal car moves slowly up and down on the ramp, creating a loud squeal of wheels that mingles with the seemingly disoriented click. The title of the installation refers to the first stage of being a workaholic.
The installation was part of the same named solo exhibition Heimliches arbeiten beginnt. in Vienna. It consisted of three works: Green Screen Tree, break (orange) and Heimliches arbeiten beginnt. which are strongly interlocked with each other and create a strongly interconnected absurd world.

[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=“Deutsch“ open=“no“ style=“default“
icon=“line“ class=““]Die aus einem Video und einer Rampe bestehende
Installation „Heimliches Arbeiten beginnt“ visualisiert ein absurdes,
automatisiertes und zweckfreies Arbeiten. Das Video zeigt einen blauen
Screen und einen sich darauf bewegenden Mauscursor – zu hören ist dabei
nur das klicken und scrollen des Cursors. Zeitgleich bewegt sich auf der
Rampe langsam ein Blechwagen auf und ab, dabei entsteht ein lautes
quietschen der Räder welches sich mit dem scheinbar orientierungslosen
Klicken vermischt. Der Titel der Installation bezieht sich auf das erste
Stadium der Arbeitssucht.
