Ein Hoch auf den Feierabend. Hobby machen, Hobby rauchen. Opportunities for social connection and skill development. Leidenschaft trifft Besessenheit. Wir holpern durch den Alltag, laut und erzeugend: Baggern im Hinterhof, Vogelhäuser bauen. Für Leute, die nicht mögen, was sie tun. Hobby riecht nach Kleber.

Stefan Brandmayrs Skulpturen bestehen aus Kombiniationen von Stahldraht, Presspan, Epoxidharz, Fiberglas und Styrodur. Sie sind bunt, verhandeln Geometrien und Volumen, zelebrieren das Wackelige und inszenieren sich als handwerkliche Laien. Spuren der Produktion werden immer umarmt, niemals verwischt.

Pia Mayrwöger lebte und arbeitete als freischaffende Künstlerin in Linz. In ihrer künstlerischen Praxis beschäftigte sie sich weitestgehend mit dem Themenfeld Arbeit. Mit Hilfe von einfachen Maschinen lotete Sie die Grenzen zwischen industrieller Produktion und dem Wert des künstlerischen Objekts aus. Ihre Arbeit wurde unter anderem mit dem Arbeiterkammer Kunstpreis (2021), dem Arbeitsstipendium des Bundesministeriums für Wissenschaft und Forschung und Bildung (2021/2022) sowie dem Linz AG Atelierstipendium der Kunstförderpreise der Stadt Linz (2022/2023) ausgezeichnet und werden im In- und Ausland gezeigt.

Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature’s irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.

That which is, is woven in the sense of a multiple discourse: contradictory, relative; as a network of relationships and relatedness. That which shows itself always shows itself to oneself and to others; it always has something to say to oneself and to others. Here I am, it says, and at the same time, here I am not, here is another.
That which is, is always already – an outwardness and an inwardness at the same time. It is something like a multiple message and transmission that is never completely sent and yet is always already on its way, a message and transmission in which it is not entirely clear who is sending it and whom it is supposed to reach.

Peter Brandlmayr and Gerald Freimuth intuitively followed this trail. For a year, they used a variety of media to communicate with each other, with themselves and with everything that came their way. In doing so, they travelled to places that would have been hard to reach in any other context.
The exhibition Weiter, weiter, Postit… (Go on, go on, Postit…) is a document of this journey, a document of relative openness towards oneself and others.

Peter Brandlmayr and Gerald Freimuth understand their work as the materialisation of discourses, stories and messages – as a collage. Within this framework, different positions, perspectives and shifts encounter one another in a playful, performative way.

All of the works on display were newly conceptualized and created specifically for the bb15 space.
