Samuel Schaab (*1981) lives and works in Vienna. He studied media art with Bernhard Leitner at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and Art & Media at the ZHdK Zurich. His works are found at the intersection of visual art, light, sound & performance. He combines site-specific spatial installations with sculpture, sound and performance.

The entropy of objects

Their mere presence causes a fog of quiet anomalies to settle around every form in the room. Even if no intended use has been specified, or even an incorrect one, everything still has a purpose.
The nagging feeling that you have to sneeze is provoked by possibility.
Clarity and obscurity are borne on legs that are planning something unexpected.
Use and wear end up in a queasy stomach. They lie there like stones, revealing fractures both rough and polished. The structure of the whole is recognizable and inscribes itself in the tales told by a furrowed countenance.
The pineapple smokes too much.
The popcorn flies on an accurate trajectory in no particular direction.
Randomness chooses carefully.
(Karolina Preuschl)

Please note that wearing a FFP2 mask is mandatory during the visit. Thank you!
