Contemporary works
Five artists have created works for the house that fit into the structure and flow of the building and enable new perspectives.
Overview
Ingrid Hora
Wall Bars, 2023
Beech wood
455 x 315
* 1976 in Bolzano, lives and works in Berlin
In guest room no. 1, Ingrid Hora has created an expansive work that extends along the wall to the curve of the ceiling. The work is an extension of the guest bed. The shape is reminiscent of a wall of bars in a gymnasium. The framework, made of beech wood, surprises with its slightly distant symmetries. Through the absence of individual rungs, the wall becomes an object that opens up a new perspective on the use of the object.
Peter Kogler
untitled, 2023
Digital print film
* 1959 in Innsbruck, lives and works in Munich and Vienna
For the wine cellar in the Lasserhaus, Kogler has created a work that nestles against the architecture of the room like a second skin, covering the walls, vaults and floor in their entirety. Vinelike forms and seemingly circling spheres evoke a slightly psychedelic sensation in the viewer.
Petra Polli
The South Tyrolean artist Petra Polli has created three works, two of which were created especially for the Lasserhaus.
* 1976 in Bozen, lives and works in Bozen and Leipzig
expect the best, 2023
White neon, copper sheet
128 x 47 cm
The artwork expect the best was made especially for the Lasserhaus. Memory is at the centre of this work. The metal piece comes from the building itself. It was part of the roof. Now the raw piece of metal is complemented by the following lettering: expect the best. When entering the room, the artwork triggers a positive expectation in the guests.
M, 2023
Neon lines white and blue
78 x 66 cm
The neon work consists of lines that are formed into peaks and connected to each other. The peaks stand for the seven generations that have lived in the Lasserhaus over a period of 200 years. The quick stroke of the lines refers to children’s scribbles while the seven peaks represent the seven generations. At the same time, these lines form an M, which stands for mother.
LIKE, 2016
Concrete sculpture
80 x 88 x 4 cm
LIKE was made in the aesthetics of TAGs. The tags are abbreviations used by graffiti sprayers to mark their territoryand leave coded messages that are only understood by insiders. The concrete lettering LIKE is to be understood in a similar way to the tags. It picks up on this aestheticand thus creates a connection between public and private.
Esther Stocker
Thoughts and Planets, 2023
Vinyl, wood, metal
Per object between 20 - 60 cm
* 1974 in Schlanders, lives and works in Vienna.
The installation by Esther Stocker consists of sculptures that seem to float on the vault of the ceiling. The sculptures consist of a wood and metal construction wrapped in vinyl. The form results from the interplay between the flexibility of the material and the creative act of the artist herself.
The resulting cloud-like, irregular form contrasts sharply with the linear and geometric black and white patterns of the sculptures.
Alexander Wierer
Songs About Time, 2023
Clockwork, wooden railing
70 x 3 x 3 cm
* 1989 in Brixen, lives and works in Brixen.
As objects of daily use, handrails and handles guide and lead us. They suggest safety. At the same time, a handrail can be a first point of contact with space, a first haptic impression. This functionality is directly related to the history of the house in Songs About Time by Wierer. Here, Wierer interprets the staircase as a timeline, as a visualisation of time in beats.
