Up into the Unknown

The exhibition Up into the Unknown traces the creation of the Kunsthaus Graz, exploring thereby the relationship between visionary ideas and their realisation. A preset time frame, technical limitations, tight budgets, functional demands, and also elements of chance all changed the conception. Nevertheless, the building still speaks of utopian-visionary moments, which even today can enable the imagination to take flight.

As commissioned works, contemporary artists tackle issues of change:
What has become of certain ideas and the attitudes connected with them?
How have social demands shifted?
What has remained?

With works by Archigram, Bollinger + Grohmann, Peter Cook, Colin Fournier, Jessica Hausner, Niels Jonkhans, Mischa Kuball, Vera Lutter, Anna Meyer, realities:united, Isa Rosenberger, Gernot Stangl and Arthur Zalewski

Up into the Unknown

Five questions for Barbara Steiner

The exhibition Up into
the Unknown traces the
genesis of the Kunsthaus
Graz and in doing so
looks at the relationship
between visionary ideas
and their implementation.
The art education
department has dedicated
itself on different levels
to this area between idea,
planning and execution
since the building was
opened in 2003.
