      Esel: The eSeL Collection

      Essl Museum Laboratory
      Thu, 05.05.2016 - Thu, 30.06.2016

      Exhibition Hall/ Laboratory

      The Essl Museum Laboratory will be inaugurated by a project designed by the Viennese art networker, knowledge producer and artist Lorenz Seidler aka eSeL. The eSeL Collection documents and reflects on the world of art on the basis of eSeL’s comprehensive archives: information on and documentation of exhibitions from the last 15 years, many boxes filled with leaflets and many terabytes of data will be arranged to form an interactive exhibition setting. With the help of a many-layered timeline, The eSeL Collection provides an insight in current developments and dynamic trends in an increasingly interrelated world of art, explores the changes in conditions underlying art production and investigates new challenges and the future potential of contemporary art. Individual focus areas are highlighted by selected eSeL projects from the last 15 years. eSeL’s photographic oeuvre, which is devoted to the art scene and its protagonists, will be presented in large formats. “Art is the product of communication!” – visitors will have the opportunity to contribute actively by adding their own observations on the development of art in the last 15 years. On several days, eSeL himself will attend the laboratory and change and expand the setting of the collection together with the visitors.

      BODY & SOUL

      The body is a visible translation of the soul (Christian Morgenstern)
      Wed, 06.04.2016 - Thu, 30.06.2016
      What attitude do we take today vis-à-vis our body and sexuality? In the 20th century, Western society revolutionised and redefined its relationship with the body, but also brought problematic aspects to light. Artists reflected these developments, of course, particularly after 1945.

      Silence

      Tue, 08.03.2016 - Mon, 28.03.2016

      Large Hall

      Silence represents an antithesis to the conventional atmosphere of exhibitions and provides visitors with ample space and time to explore works of art at their leisure. Only two works of art on a surface of 600 sq.m. with comfortable seating in front of them. Only two visitors per hour will be let in upon prior registration. At museums, the visitors spend no more than 15 seconds on the average per work of art. Hence, they often miss out on the experience of exploring art in a contemplative spirit and enjoying the interaction between artwork, viewer and surrounding space. Silence is an offer to enjoy art fully, in an atmosphere of calm and silence. There are no explanatory texts or thematic statements to come between the art and the viewer.

They immediately became a couple and enjoyed their first encounters with contemporary art in the fascinating metropolis on their dates which took them to the museums and galleries of New York. This was the origin of their love for art which soon became a passion: The beginning of the Essl Collection

      The Wild Years

      Wed, 18.03.2015 - Sun, 31.05.2015

      Large Hall

      In the late 1970s to early 1980s, young artists everywhere responded to the highly theory-driven artistic stances and debates of the 1970s with a bold and carefree style of painting geared to the predominant zeitgeist. The representatives of the so-called Neue Wilde (New Wild) were often art students whose brazenly expressive and gestural paintings were produced fast, based on gut feeling rather than theory.

In his theatrically staged image puzzles of the 1980s and 90s, objects merge with one another and thereby reduce their original function to the absurd.
