Within the context of the course LIVING AND NON-LIVING BODIES* – INTERVENTIONS
IN PUBLIC SPACE of JOHANNA TINZL, Department of Site-Specific Art with the curatorial support of CORNELIA OFFERGELD,
KÖR Vienna, students confronted the mural and developed artistic contributions which examine the ideological presuppositions,
their toxic effects on the present, and the meaningfulness of historical contextualization.

The concepts of the installations and performative interventions
and for the mural are compiled together with the research results of the art historians INGRID HOLZSCHUH and INGE PODBRECKY
and the historian FLORIAN WENNINGER in a publication.
The mural »Nobility of Labor« on the façade
of the house Operngasse 22-24 / Faulmanngasse 2 in Vienna's 4th district was realized by the artist Franz Kralicek as a commissioned
work of the municipal NS-administration in 1938. The house itself is part of a large urban planning showcase project of Viennese
Austrofascism (1933/34-1938): the redevelopment of the so-called »Freihausgründe«.
LIVING AND NON-LIVING
BODIES* – INTERVENTIONS IN PUBLIC SPACE is a cooperation project of KÖR Public Art Vienna and the University of Applied Arts
Vienna.
