THE PROJECTS:
Martin Breindl
Found and Lost
Intervention Lost and Found Box. By placing objects that
he has found or bought on site on pedestals and into a gallery
(Splitter Art) the artist turns them into works of art, only
to connote them anew subsequently: Thrown into the Lost and
Found Box near the Fischerstiege they finally end up in the
lost-and-found department of the district office. From there
everybody who can describe them precisely may take these objects
home.
Presentation on Sept 21, 2006, as of 6 pm at Splitter Art,
Salvatorgasse 10
Transposition on Oct 7, 2006, as of 7.30 pm, Lost and Found

MACHFELD (Sabine Maier und Michael

Wonder
While fishermen wrapped seaman’s yarn around their ropes
and hawsers they told one another of personal experiences,
droll stories and legends. Quite often the entertainment value
was increased by elements of the unbelievable and the fantastic.
By and by the term “yarn” developed into a synonym
for (tall) tales of all kinds. In the project Wonder the installation
of a visual lie in the form of artificial lawn installed vertically
to the usual direction of growth meets intelligent tall tales.
Presentation on Sept 21, 2006, as of 6 pm, with projections
on the stairway and on the wall; audience participation via
the Internet

Ein Meter Widerspruch [i.e. one meter of contradiction]
“
Widerspruchballen“ [rolls of contradiction] – positive
or negative patterned printed rolls of fabric with a length
of 230 meters are waiting for a participating audience. Under
certain conditions you can have one square meter thereof
cut off in the tailoring shop at Fischerstiege 4-8/1/1. In
conceptual
terms 230 meters correspond to the linear distance from the
Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance, Wipplingerstraße
8 to the Memorial Room for the Resistance Fighters, Salztorgasse
6.

fischerstiege. jenseits des meeres
A poster (laminated digital print; size: 230cm x 180cm) assembled
of two pictures and exhibited in the shop window of the cabinet
maker’s workshop Schuba (Fischerstiege 4/at the corner
of Sterngasse) joins the history of the Fischerstiege to
world affairs. A ship that was moored in the harbor of Hong
Kong
in December 2005 by anti-globalization activists is anchoring
right behind the Fischerstiege and is touching the Salvatorgasse.

Winkel
The oversized red aluminum angle of 10 x 3 meters, a work
of concrete art, has marked buildings in Vienna’s cityscape
so far or has protruded through windows out into the urban
space. Recently it was presented as the project abgehakt on
the facade of the building Praterstraße 42, prior to
this in the Büro für Weltausstellung, Praterstraße
42. Now it is mounted to the sustaining wall beside the Fischerstiege
towering several meters above the balustrade near the Salvatorgasse.

SCHWEMM GUT
That the River Danube has washed ashore
something golden says the legend of the ambivalent Danube Mermaid:
On the
one hand
she helps the people and warns them of inundations and, on
the other, she lures children and fishermen into the water
with the gold. Starting from their studio Stoß im Himmel
Eva Tesarik and Birgit Wie. inundate anew the public space
of the Salvatorgasse up to the Fischerstiege: parts of jewelry
will twinkle on the sidewalks and lure the pedestrians.
Presentation on Sep 21, 2006, as of 6 pm
Finissage on Oct 27, 2006, as of 7 pm, Atelier für zeitgenössischen
Schmuck [studio for contemporary jewelry], Stoß im
