Art in transition: Werner Reiterer's provocative exhibition inspires!

In a fascinating exhibition at the Castle Museum in Linz, the artist Werner Reiterer shows how he tests visitors' expectations with his creative interventions. Under the title “The Mind Hacker,” Reiterer confronts guests with historical wooden sculptures of saints that surprisingly bear his own likeness. The entire exhibition space, stimulated by sudden noises, seems to literally breathe and invites the audience to actively participate. The artist's works address the complex interplay between individual and community as well as between people and objects, which leads to the central question: "Who are we?" reported OTS.

Art in detail

A notable part of the exhibition are 80 of Reiterer's drawings, which are presented in a specially designed room. These drawings form the conceptual basis of his projects, which have been created over decades. Particular attention is paid to the development of his artistic work and the philosophical questions behind his installations. Reiterer, who was born in Graz in 1964 and currently lives in Vienna, brings a breath of fresh air into the contemporary art scene with his work.

The Karl Pollender City Museum in Werne also presents an impressive look back at the past of the local Sim Jü fair with poster reprints by the former city graphic artist Karl Losch. These posters, which are available for six euros each, show the development of the popular festival and reflect the spirit of the times over the years. Dr. Constanze Döhrer, the director of the city museum, and Heidelore Fertig-Möller, chairwoman of the support association, informed that two original works by the artist Heinrich Repke have now been brought into the museum from an online auction. These paintings, which depict historical scenes of Werne and evoke memories, significantly expand the wealth of the city's art collection Werne Plus reported.
