light strip: Franzobel
KUNSTHALLE wien public space karlsplatz,
November 29th, 2006 - March 19th, 2007
The Karlsplatz is seized by the Kunsthalle Wien. Semiannually the SCULPTURE and the SHOWCASE take reference to the square, quarterly artists program the LIGHT STRIP with LED-generated light/text images on top of the project space building.
The Austrian writer Franzobel (*1967) will use the format of the light strip for the first time at Kunsthalle Wien’s project space. “It is about challenges and circumstances, about the Kunsthalle’s attempts at communication as well as the poet Franzobel’s transparent diary.”
Franzobel is described as a “master wordsmith” and “baroque story teller.” He creates a narrative style that bubbles and spurts with bizarre metaphors and onomatopoeia. His world is quirky, topical, and entirely up-to-date.
He was awarded the Ingeborg-Bachmann prize in 1995, the Kasseler Literature prize for grotesque humor in 1998, and the Arthur-Schnitzler prize in 2002.
