The most recent work of renowned Austrian sculptor and photographer
Werner Feiersinger is an artistic intervention at the Belvedere 21,
Austria's national museum for contemporary art, located in the
former Austrian Pavilion for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair that
had been transferred to Vienna in 1962. For this extensive
sculptural work, Feiersinger took cues from the building's history
and architectural details. As is characteristic of his work, the
Belvedere 21 intervention combined the artist's deep and broad
knowledge of design and architectural history with a laconic,
minimalist formal vocabulary. Werner Feiersinger. Overturn
documents this ambitious project with drawings and photographs,
essays, and an insightful interview with the artist. Together, they
shed light on the ways in which the Belvedere 21 intervention
reimagines the Pavilion as an autonomous object that nonetheless
speaks to fundamental questions about sculpture. In doing so, it
undermines conventional ways of seeing. Text in English and German.
