As Günther Domenig’s key autobiographical work, the DOMENIG STEINHAUS itself becomes an exhibit and its physicality is investigated through the medium of performance. Over three weekends, the Tanzquartier Wien (TQW) will occupy the Steinhaus with invited guests. Both architecture and sculpture at once, its expressive gesture becomes a resonance space for other art forms, in keeping with the programme of the STEINHAUS Günther Domenig Private Foundation.
With Julius Deutschbauer, durch:formen (Katrin Ackerl Konstantin, Niki Meixner, Erik-Jan Rippmann), Alexander Gottfarb, Barbara Kaiser, Andrea Maurer, Karin Pauer and Aldo Giannotti, Oleg Soulimenko and Doris Uhlich.
Created for the Carinthian Regional Exhibition in 1995, this building is both a location and an exhibit, and is today considered a central work in Günther Domenig’s architectural oeuvre. Over several years the vacancy of the building has led to a unique setting of sculptural-architectural overlays created by nature. Temporary artistic interventions and works by artists and students from selected art and architecture universities will once again open up the building to the public.
