Permanent recontextualization of Marian shrine in former monastery church // Baumgartenberg // Upper Austria 

Materials: Rammed earth and ceramics / Implementation with Elias Brunmayr (Atelier LOAM)

Inauguration 26th October 2025

AWZ Haus_Tatemono /// stoneware, glaze, urushi lacquer, bronze /// 2021

Commisioned work. Hommage to Austrian ceramicist Franz Josef Altenburg.

These rammed earth objects are part of our lecture „Collective Countryside“ which copes with different collective & solidaric concepts in both agriculture and art. We research together with our students about different ecological, social & artistic visions for human life on planet Earth. The „Social Objects“ you can see here have been designed and built collectively throughout one intensive lastweek out of rammed earth by all the students of the lecture. At night you can light a fire inside the two higher ones, which are covered by a ceramic fire bowl. Join! Build a circle around them and talk to each other in it’s flames shine, enjoy their pleasant warmth. The smaller one might be used as a speaker‘s-corner-like little stage, or a table or a seat. Any other ideas? The material loam, the soil itself remains open and tells about a long forgotten construction knowledge, confusing industrial decisions in the history of architecture & various options for our future

I’ve been PITCHING at WU Wien. N.O.A.H. Galactica has been one of 8 exciting projects & start-ups aiming to help fullfilling the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN that have been coached by CHALLENGE IMPACT a programm led by the Transferhub @wu_gruendungszentrum Vienna University of Economics & Business

Gemeinsam mit Susanne Lipinski (Künstlerin, Kollektiv Kollinski, Assistenz der Geschäftsführung Dachverband Kultur Salzburg), Julia Müllegger (Kulturarbeiterin, KINO EBENSEE, Freies Radio Salzkammergut) und Eva Maria Stadler (Vizerektorin, Die Angewandte) diskutierte ich gestern über die Auflösung der Öffentlichkeit im Zeitalter der Individualisierung und Kommerzialisierung, über geschlossene Räume und schwindende Bühnen durch Corona und die Verantwortung von Kulturinitiativen, Gesellschaft, Politik und Institutionen für die Zurückeroberung, Wahrung und Förderung des öffentlichen Raums.

Die Aufzeichnung ist am Donnerstag, morgen um 13.30 Uhr, auf B138 zu hören. Weitere Sendungen in den Freien Radiostationen folgen. Außerdem wird ein Teil der Onlinediskussion auf Dorf TV ausgestrahlt. Sendetermin folgt!

The presence of emptiness. The uselessness of completely shut and barricaded buildings. A window full of bricks and a door locked with a tightened chain.
