Wind moves – both things and human thought. The wind is also a harbinger both of new beginnings
and of decay, of control and chaos, and the destructive force of the wind is central to the debate on climate change.
The
book Wenn der Wind weht / When the Wind Blows is being published in conjunction with the exhibition of the
same name at KUNST HAUS WIEN, in cooperation with the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It presents more than twenty artistic
projects that render the unseen elements air, wind, and breath visible in different ways.
Ernst
Strouhal traces (cultural) stories of the wind in his text “Flying Robert and His Kin,” while curators Verena Kaspar-Eisert
and Liddy Scheffknecht look at air as a medium in contemporary art.
- Publication to accompany
the exhibition at KUNST HAUS WIEN (12/03–28/08/2022)
- Works by Hoda Afshar, Ólafur Elíasson, Ulay / Marina Abramović,
and others
