ALPEN
Group Show with Anna Zimmermann, Lino Gasparitsch
16.–24.09.2022, Ausstellungsraum Wien
ALPEN by the collective temporary.arrangement seeks to illustrate – fragmentarily – and reinterpret the Alps. The works on show range from kitsch to handcraft and combine the natural and the artificial, while making references to thousand-year-old myths, legends, and sagas. Recurring symbols and narratives form the backbone to the exhibition and the notion of homeland is addressed from a range of perspectives. In a world, in which religion and popular beliefs appear to play an ever diminishing role, ALPEN builds bridges with the here and now. As subjects; melting glaciers, spiritual sites, and the rediscovery of our relationship with nature couldn’t be more contemporary. The exhibition is a cooperative transalpine project by Lino Gasparitsch (Germany), Bettina Willnauer (Austria), and Anna Zimmermann (Switzerland).

ALPENMALEREI
hand-dyed Sheep Wool 148x123cm
Alpine landscape painting is a centuries-old tradition in art history. This rich tradition inspired the hand-woven tapestry which, within the exhibition, represents a “window to the outside world”. It is made from Austrian sheep’s wool and dyed with natural dyes such as dandelion. In terms of size, the object has the dimensions of a standard specification window and is meant to convey to the observer the feeling of looking out of it directly onto a view of the Alps.

SALIGEN
The object is inspired by the braided hairstyles of agricultural and Alpine regions. The name “Saligen” refers to certain myths about the Alps in which fairy-like beings of a female form come to the rescue of women lost, wounded, or stranded in the mountains and guide them back into the safety of the valley. Braided hair becomes the climbing and rescue rope.
