Wahrscheinlich die schlechteste Skihütte am Arlberg.

In issue 4 of his magazine, Florian Werner presents, for the fourth time now, a glimpse into the many artistic activities in the Kunstquartier Hospiz.

This issue of the magazine demonstrates the continuous involvement with the theme of art and strikingly documents how it is being consistently incorporated into the hotel.With the 2011/12 season about to begin, Florian Werner has chosen “the Art of Encoun- tering” as the key element and guiding theme for the activities in his hotel Arlberg Hospiz Hotel and, in doing so, goes one step further than before. After having declared the hotel an exhibition venue, initiated an Artist in Residence programme in combination with an art prize, and established a new gallery in Bregenz, he is now also making art the identifying characteristic of everything that goes on in his hotel and, as a result, is making the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel a uniquely distinctive place.

With this year’s overall theme of “portrayal”, Florian Werner is also concentrating on another of the significant and repeatedly asked questions in the debate about art. The relation-ship between the object, the item to be depicted, and the portrayal has been the preoccu-pation of philisophy and epistemology since time immemorial and the debate is constantly changing. What is the relationship between the original image and the image portrayed and, following on from this, to what extent is human perception a portrayal of reality? In this, the artistic works of Alfredo Barsuglia and Patrick Grijalvo Milos are examples of two ways of appreciating art that are at first sight quite contrary in terms of content and aesthetics, but which, at a second glance, both have in common the question of what is possible in the “portrayal”. Both attempt to portray real objects – whether it is the painted portrait of a person or the photographic representation of a building and, in so doing, to be as close as possible to the original image while, at the same time, attaining the greatest degree possible of artistic individuality. They are certainly extremely different in the way they express this attempt – while Alfredo Barsuglia recreates in a realistic way using paint, Milos uses realistic photographic closeness to produce abstract, graphical imagery which has largely distanced itself from the original object.

The process of portrayal is also an emancipatory one, because it also always involves an element of rapture from the source. Another emancipatory process is Florian Werner‘s perseverence in bringing art into his hotel.We are delighted to assist him on this journey.

kunstquartier hospiz introduces itself It is divided into the following sub-areas:

* HOSPIZ GALERIE ST. CHRISTOPH

* HOSPIZ GALERIE bREGENZ | KUNSTvILLA

* HOSPIZ ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

* HOSPIZ ART PRIZE

* ART COLLECTION FLORIAN & URSULA WERNER

* mission statement In its approach the Kunstquartier Hospiz corresponds with to that of the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel as a traditional, exclusive hotel with a focus on the guests and their well-being. In the Kunstquartier Hospiz, the focus is on the artist instead of the guest. Accordingly, all activities at the Kunstquartier Hospiz are based on fair and open principles of community. In accordance with the tradition of the Brotherhood of St. Christoph, the Kunstquartier Hospiz serves the purpose of promoting and making visible a younger generation of artists at the start of their creative lives. The Kunstquartier Hospiz provides access to all artistic directions, from traditional artistic formats to New Media Art.

The multi-layered programme at the Kunstquartier Hospiz is as dedicated to hotel guests as it is to lovers of art. The Kunstquartier Hospiz is dedicated to its regional location, with which it is closely integrated and carries out an active exchange, without losing sight of the international focus.

The Kunstquartier Hospiz is another exclusive trademark of the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel.

In his installations Alfredo Barsuglia questions the permanence of glamour and celebrity culture. What are the mechanisms for accepting beauty, how do they operate and via which media are they conveyed and reinforced? In the process Barsuglia plays with stylistic ele-ments from fairy tales as well as with erotic references and allusions to the world of show business.

Some of his extensive installations, which are in the trompe l’oeil tradition, are portraits. In these Barsuglia does not depict individuals, but examples of a social condition. He is in-terested in the daily rituals and presents these in relation to celebrity culture – the things we are all accustomed to do naturally and which, for exactly that reason, escape our notice.

Hospiz Art Prize 2011

The photographs of Patrik Grijalvo Millois are always inspired by an actual place – in the „ROTHKO“ series of works it is the Kunsthaus Bregenz, which the young artist came to know during a two month stay there. The artist has explored in minute detail the architec-ture and lighting design of Peter Zumthor’s prizewinning building and his series of works places a structural focus on what it contains. In these he concentrates on the surfaces, shapes, colours and atmospheric aspects of the building, like a painter. The result is a unique set of photographic works, which shed a new light on the Kunsthaus Bregenz.

The new figure of St. Christopher has been completed in time for the celebrations comme-morating the 625th anniversary of the Brother-hood of St Christopher on the second weekend in July. Having already been unveiled to the pu-blic, the statue is due to be officially inaugurated on the 9th of July. Tyrolean artist Florian Senn has moved away from traditional depictions of St. Christopher which show him as a giant of a man struggling under the weight of his burden; instead, Senn offers his own interpretation - his steel figure, seven metres tall and weighing ne-arly two tons, depicts a patron saint effortlessly carrying the Christ child and – as study of the saints tells us – the whole burden of mankind. “Everything’s getting easier”, explains the artist, “today it’s easier to fulfil your dreams”.

The St. Christopher statue was commissioned by the Kunstquartier Hospiz and took over 1,000 hours to complete. Gallery-founders Ursula und Florian Werner are delighted with the finished work. “This sculpture is a real cultu-

ral asset for St. Christoph and provides a new link

between Vorarlberg and Tirol.”

In her artistic work, Kirsten Helfrich deals with themes involving beauty and transience. In her work the artist reacts to ideals and that domi-nate our society but negate its reality, by me-ans of various media. Whether it be the beauty myth of the fashion magazines or the protective idea of the statue of a saint, Kirsten Helfrich reveals the superficiality of these phenomena in her artistic transformation. The Christophorus statue in the Hospiz chapel in St. Christoph was badly damaged by travellers over the decades. The Swabian children took small wood splinters with them on their journey over the Arlberg to Germany, in the hopes of returning with some-thing more and of a safe journey. Other travel-lers also believed in improving their chances of a safe journey with the holy splinters in their luggage. This is how parts of the statue ended up scattered throughout the world.

My work for the Hospiz Galerie St. Christoph

combines the lost wood splinters with the tradi-

tional hiking song ”Der frohe Wandersmann“

(The happy wanderer) of Joseph von Eichendorff.

The first verse of the well-loved song: Wem Gott

will rechte Gunst erweisen … (When God wis-

hes to show true favour to someone), is formed by

thousands of small wood pieces which have been

hurled against the wall as if after an explosion

In her work the artist reacts to ideals and that dominate our society but negate its reality, by means of various media. Whether it be the beauty myth of the fashion magazines or the protective idea of the statue of a saint, Kirsten Helfrich reveals the superficiality of these phe-nomena in her artistic transformation.

Isabel Haase‘s artistic work is also characterised by the use of various media. Through photo-graphy, video, objects and installations, she ex-plores themes such as the relationship between public and private spaces, just as she includes objects of daily life. In addition to fine, clear aesthetics, her work also subliminally radiates a great deal of discomfort and unrest. Through subtle changes, everyday objects are given new, unexpected meanings that confuse and amuse viewers.

Franziskus Wendels deals with the theme of ”light“. He is especially interested in artificial light in the context of the city. The brightly lit city is to him a symbol of our ”Enlightened

times” with all their ambivalence. He has crea-ted three installations for the Hospiz Galerie St. Christoph. In the expansive rooms of the basement boiler room, the observer sees things that at first glance seem to have been placed the-re arbitrarily. However, when the lights go out, these become a landscape with enormous spa-tial depth. These works subsist on the tension between the images of day and night. The same can be said for a series of graphics. two stories entering a dialogue with one another are told on eight sheets.

In the installation SeilBahnen I dealt with the

theme of Seilbahnen (cable railways) very literally

(Note: the German term ”Seilbahn“ literally me-

ans ”rope track“). Wooden supports carry the sisal

strings, dyed in the colours of the rainbow. The

installation adapts to the mountainous terrain,

traverses stairs, paths and exits, travelling along

rivers and under bridges. Without a beginning or

an end, the strings always travel along the same

path, a symbol for the ultimately always identical

processes of life, which however at the same time

take on a cheerful life-affirming quality due to

their rainbow colours.

The artist, Christian Hutzinger, has developed a distinctive visual language in his painting, col-lages and spatial intervention installations. His preferred colours vary within a palette of vivid shades and find formal expression through rigid compliance with themes. In a world of signs and pictograms, the artist has created over time his own artistic vocabulary in order to tell his story. The simple shapes, ellipses and capsules against monochrome backgrounds act virtually as substitutes, as synonyms for events. The play of colours, shapes and sizes are the parameters Hutzinger works within. Spatial interventions, the painted interconnection between images and spaces, open a discourse with the viewer and establish an immediate relationship with their surroundings.

In his installations, Alfredo Barsuglia poses the question of the durability of glamour and the star cult. What are the mechanisms for the ac-ceptance of beauty, how do they function and by means of which media are they transported and reinforced? In the process, Barsuglia plays with stylistic elements from fairy tales, as well as with erotic allusions and side glances into the world of show business. Portraits are a component of his voluminous in-stallations, which refer to the tradition of trom-pe d‘oeil painting. Barsuglia does not illustrate individuals here, but rather placeholders of a societal condition. He is interested in the eve-ryday rituals, and places these in a relationship to the star cult; the existential processes that we all perform as a matter of course, and which, precisely for this reason, escape our attention.

Katharina Lackner works using shifts and chan-ges in perception and executes her artistic ideas in videos, installations and temporary perfor-mative interventions. A core topic of her work is the study of movement (of self ) in space. Through this she introduces herself as a chan-geable and sometimes magical figure and allows us to participate visually in her actual simple physical experiences. Her own body becomes a form of clay in order to test boundaries and bring situations to a head. In the process, using simple digital or analogue media, what is real is interwoven with what is imaginary or mani-pulated.

Reinhold Braun, artist and co-founder of the D.A.R.M. group of artists, whets your ap- petite for colour with his painting that redefines boundaries and invites you to enter strange vi-sual worlds. His works descend into night, into intoxication, into excess – into a universe where normal familiar behaviour only operates to a limited extent and where things that are crude, childish, dreamlike and anarchic become more important. His approach as a painter is undog-matic and he uses different stylistic devices in order to remain consciously in this area, on the threshold between abstraction and represent-ational depiction.

Nika Kupyrova studied painting in Edinburgh, but, in the meantime, her artistic experience has principally been determined by spatial in-stallations and photography. All her objects and installations have their origin in items she has found and fragments of historical artifacts, such as furniture, toys, pots and rubber tubing. Like a tracker, the artist arranges these into new forms, robbing them of thier original purpose and, having transformed them artistically, uses them to tell new tales. Through the moment of recollection and recognition she creates familia-rity and a sense of belonging.

WIE AUS STRATEGISCHER MARKENFÜHRUNG KREATIVE LÖSUNGEN WERDEN.

„Campbell’s Soup Cans“ sind ein Kultobjekt. Dank dem Künstler und Grafiker Andy Warhol. Er ver-stand es, die Suppendose aus der Warenwelt in die Sphäre der Kunst zu heben, Markenführung und Kreation zu verschmelzen. Sein strategischer wie kreativer Plan: Er übertrug die Mechanismen des Marktes auf die Kreation. Eine neue, multidimensi-onale Marke – wie auch Silberball sie versteht – war geboren.

In his works, Hubert Kostner addresses touristic clichés in an ironic style and parodies the kitsch and one-dimensional perception of the alpine surroundings. His miniature landscapes and his alpine landscape canvases adopt the theme of the excessive and problematic use of this space without pointing the moral finger.He gives a different significance to his subjects, which stem from objects used in his surround-ings, which he transforms, giving them a new context. For example, an anvil becomes an oversized hammer and reminds us of the words from one of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s poems, “You must either mount or fall, either con-

quer and rule or serve and lose, suffer or triumph,

be the anvil or the hammer”.

Bernd Oppl‘s artistic work repeatedly revolves around the relationship between work with film and spatiality and architecture, as well as their media portrayal. The starting point for his work is film scenes, in which the set presents a real physical space and is not constructed virtu-ally. Oppl addresses the topic of understanding film as an architectural art form which portrays space, transforms it and creates new spaces. In his subjects the artist recreates in miniature fa-mous exhibition venues (such as, for example, Tate Modern), which stand outside what is currently accessible and available to him as an artist, and playfully fills these with his own ar-tistic works.

In her role as artist, Karin Maria Pfeifer has re-served the right to observe things from below or from a skewed perspective. Her scenes of people living their daily lives together are characterised by a bright colours and an apparent lightness. But, on closer inspection, they make a tongue-in-cheek contribution to themes relevant to so-ciety such as relationships, fear of commitment, or the process of letting go. The dissonance bet-ween content and form is the dominant artistic stylistic device in her large and airy pictures.

The aspect of fiction plays a special role in Maureen Kaegi‘s artistic experience, which is defined through the concurrent use of dif-ferent media – drawing, painting, photography and installations. The artist composes complex visual universes out of simple reflections on daily life, aided by the device of slow motion. She translates these scenarios with instinctive assurance – a photograph is turned into a gra-phic, is then transformed into a painting so it can become a photograph again. Her staging of the installation and its spatial aspects, as well as her knowledge of the function and effect of architecture complete the way she thinks about and deals with her art.

Martin Bilinovac’s artistic work is a continuous debate on the topic of space. On the one hand it reflects an interest in actual space, its function and social coding, on the other hand it depicts the malleable, three-dimensional qualities of space. In his photographic shots reality is inter-woven with photographic space, always defined by the strict form of its composition – frontal view, centered and symmetrical. This results in visual worlds that move between portrayals of real life, fiction and stage sets.

For Tobias Maximilian Schell art begins with analysing the verbal space, from which he filters out forgotten and hidden fragments, double meanings or type faces. He treats these either according to purely formal criteria such as, for example, the aggregate of lines and background, of black and white, or from the perspective of content, where he reveals transformed patterns of meaning. The “how?” of the artistic signature only plays a secondary role in this. As a result, Tobias Maxi-milian Schnell’s artistic form of expression is as much about objects as it is about performance, conception, installation or music.

Maria Anwander’s artistic work is a consistent debate about the way art operates, the way it is standardised and regulated. She intervenes in this system, sometimes in a very ironic manner, in order to avoid it or reveal it. So, over several years, she has stolen name plates from international museums and art institutions, inter-preted them in her own artistic style and dis-played them in an exhibition. She blew a kiss to the Museum of Modern Art in New York when she broke the rules and left a trace of lipstick be-hind in one of the exhibition rooms. Methods of appropriation and the question of authorship of an artwork are constant themes in her work.

Mariella Roos‘ photographic works are specifi-cally consolidated by overlaying images, which intensifythe theme depicted. In many cases her works elicit the feeling of seeing through the object to what is inside – the skeleton – and yet others have quite the opposite effect, the feeling of non-recognition is generated through the montage of familiar objects, turning them into something completely different. Her works oscillate between the poles of hyper-reality and constructed fiction.

Ernst Heckelmann’s painting is dominated by fast, broad brush strokes and a dynamic style. Therefore his painting fluctuates in the border-line experiences between reproducing the real image and abstracting this image. His themes are archetypal mountain fantasies, often charac-terised by avalanche-like landscape structures which also often have a chaotic appearance. Ernst Heckelmann is contantly re-extending the range of his pictures and charging them with subjects that are nurtured by his pursuit of contemporary art trends.

Lena Lapschina‘s complex artistic work is defi-ned by her preoccupation with the interaction between situations in individuals‘ daily lives and their effect and relevance to society. Her con-ceptual approach takes the form of photogra-phic and video works. On her travels she films and photographs the situations in the daily life of an artist, which she mixes with scenes from the world of the media and uses in an unusual way. These are always very close and intimate aspects of private observation, which she deals with publicly.
