Wandertag #3

For Wandertag, Lukas Thaler developed a new series of objects that infiltrate their surroundings, spread out like a net and enter into a subtle symbiosis with their exhibition site. Whether tea cups and milk jugs, lamp-like tubular structures or sculptural seating: Thaler's objects explore functional, aesthetic, and formal potentials of various everyday objects and their materials.

The setting for Thaler’s exploration is a former electrical building, which will soon function as a public community space in the Neu Leopoldau residential complex. As a converted industrial site, stories of producing around 250,000 cubic meters of gas per hour around 1911 and bombings during World War II overlap with future visions of communal coexistence.

Wandertag is a project series highlighting solo presentations in public space. Whether an industrial area, the shop window of a car dealer, a house facade or a public observatory - each location offers a new approach to the artistic practice of the invited artists as well as unusual views of Vienna. Each Wandertag is accompanied by its own walking route that visitors can follow either on guided tours or on their own.
