    "Vanitas", Christian Boltanski

    Deep below the CathedralIn the choir crypt of the late Romanesque Salzburg Cathredral, the French artist Christian Boltanski has installed a shadow play entitled "Vanitas". It comprises two parts, one sculptural, the other acoustic. On one wall the artist has mounted twelve delicately slender figures cut from sheet metal illuminated by candles. In the flickering light they cast shadows onto the wall, and the apse is filled with the revolving projection of a shadowy angel of death. At the same time, the sound of the looped recording of an automatic speaking-clock echoes through the room. A harmony of time and spaceThe artist's shadow play is a modern "Danse Macabre", with time passing audibly as one observes it. Through his artistic intervention, Christian Boltanski has transformed the historical space into a site of mystery, which unites the spirituality of his art with ...

    “berliner block”, Gerhard Trieb

    A world made of linesAfter pausing for a couple of years, the Walk of Modern Art was expanded again in 2017 with the addition of the “berliner block”. The focal point of Austrian artist Gerhard Trieb’s work is the cube. Into his blocks, he cuts a right-angled linear network of varying widths and depths, finally turning to a chisel to add individual touches. What we are left with in the end is the intrinsic tension of the relief. Geometry of art – art of geometryThe berliner block in Salzburg is part of a sculptural cycle which was created from 1995 to 2005.  The dimensions of this block, created out of Krastal marble, are 99x88x88 cm. As such, it isn’t strictly speaking a cube per se, yet it still has the full impact of a geometrical shape, together with all of the associated implications.

    Attention for a historic eventOn April 30, 1938, around 1200 books by denounced authors were piled up and burned on the Residenzplatz in Salzburg. Staged by the Hitler Youth, the event was intended to capture the public’s attention and send a clear message, even announced and commentated on in the local press. An international competition was initiated to find the perfect memorial, with the winning project officially unveiled in the commemorative year of 2018: “Book Skeleton” by Iranian Fatemeh Naderi and Hallein native Florian Ziller. The artwork in detailThe black book sculpture made of metal is set against a white backdrop, just as pictures and texts would be found on paper. The actual framework of the book is intended to symbolize the burning, while the fact that it stands there as an “empty” book symbolizes all those works that had been burned. The book skeleton is ...

The artist and SalzburgRanft, its creator, has various ties to Salzburg, having studied sculpting at the Mozarteum, attended painting classes under Oskar Kokoschka at the Salzburg International Summer Academy and taught for many years at the Mozarteum University School of Art.

    Perfect location for public artWith its dwarfs, the Hedge Theater and its antique statues, Mirabell Gardens has always been a home for art. The Rose Hill is likewise adorned by a sculpture: the figure of a naked dancer created by Giacomo Manzú. The dancer, standing on point and stretching skywards, conveys a sense of lightness combined with concentration. The beauty of the statue is underscored by the world-famous gardens and the city panorama. The artist and his love for SalzburgGerman publisher Franz Burda gave this statue to Salzburg in 1976, the city where he had met dancer Inge Schnabel back in the 1950s. Franz Burda had very close ties to Salzburg since he had taught at the Summer Academy here for a number of years. It was also here that Burda made the acquaintance of the Italian artist Manzú, himself a big Salzburg fan. Together with Oscar Kokoschka, Manzú was one ...

    Mozart and Archbishops united in artIn 1999, Prague artist Anna Chromy created her Pietá, a very popular and highly photographed sculpture. She was commissioned to do so by Archbishop Georg Eder, drawing inspiration from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” and Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s “Jedermann”. The complex meanings of an empty coatIn the hollow figure, observers may very well see Death – or the opposite, namely that which remains. The inscription on the base reads: “The empty mantle as a symbol of that which survives us: the love we gave, the works we created, the suffering we bore.” The empty “Cloak of Conscience” is this artist’s most popular work, with other examples to be found in Prague, Athens as well as Monaco. more about Anna Chromy... public art in Salzburg

    “Prince-Archbishop Paris Lodron” by Giacomo Manzú

    The baroque town and its “Cardinals” Salzburg University was established in 1622 by Prince-Archbishop Paris Lodron. Through this statue, Italian artist Giacomo Manzú, whose works were strongly influenced thematically by cardinals, created an image that immediately evokes the essential characteristics of this prince of the church, greatness, power, dynamism, cleverness. Visitors will always experience this seated figure differently depending on whether they approach it from the front, from behind or the side. Manzús „Cardinals“ Even though Paris Lodron’s actual rank within the church did not compare with that of cardinals, this statue definitely belongs to Manzú’s series of “cardinals”; a series consisting of more than 50 figures. “Prince-Archbishop Paris Lodron” was the last “cardinal” and was commissioned by Salzburg University.

    A living being made of steel The “Sleeping House” is probably the only artwork in Salzburg that gets up in the morning and lies down to rest at night. During the daytime, visitors can actually step inside the sculpture – these “waking phases” depend on the opening hours of Museum der Moderne Salzburg. The artist’s intentionSwiss artist Not Vital originally created this 10-meters-long steel cone for an exhibition in Vienna. It is a temporary variation of his architectural constructions, reflecting the artist’s fascination with the interplay between reality and surreality.

He founded the fictional state “SoS” on an uninhabited Finnish island, establishing relations both with artists as well as embassies. Starting in 2004, manhole covers were installed in different cities intended to epitomize a virtual connection. International cover artThese manhole covers are each 80 cm in diameter and represent a shifting of static state boundaries, a new state marking (SoS) as well as artistic sculpture. The SoS manhole cover on Waagplatz in Salzburg was the last in the series, with others located in Barcelona, Nice, Biel, Ferrara and many Austrian cities. State of SabotagePublic art in Salzburg

    “Stimono” by Thomas Baumann

    Historic building with modern elementsThe historically listed Salzburger Landestheater was restored in 2009 – in the course of that work, an artistic intervention by Thomas Baumann was brought to fruition on the long side of the theater facing Schwarzstraße. “Stimono” consists of a large glass display case mounted on a stone plinth. Each sound a light signalThe inside of the case displays a visual representation of goings-on inside the theater around the clock, with the sounds recorded there transformed by this sculpture into light: including orchestral rehearsals, applause and even building work. This results in light formations that are reminiscent of the ECG of a heartbeat. By means of their movements, both employees and the public become a part of this artwork. In this way, all the components that make the theater what it is are made visually perceptible to the ...

    Small art with big meaningThe some 500 Stolpersteine or “Stumbling Stones” in Salzburg are cubic concrete blocks with edges measuring 10 cm. The top surface is covered by a brass plate inscribed with biographical information. They are intended to remind us of the victims of National Socialism and honor each of them as the individuals they were. An international projectThe idea is that people will literally stumble over the fates of those who were affected. This decentralized memorial project is dedicated to a wide range of victims including Roma, homosexuals, forced laborers, Jews etc. The project, which has existed since 1992, actually encompasses around 60,000 stones in some 1300 cities.

    “The Cardinal” by Giacomo Manzú

    Salzburg as perfect town for “Cardinals”In front of the arches on the north side of the cathedral stands “The Cardinal” by Giacomo Manzú. The oeuvre of this Italian artist is indeed shaped by his fascination with cardinals. In fact, he created more than 50 figures, each unique. The Cardinal in SalzburgThe figure in Salzburg is not intended to reference a specific person, with individuality taking a step back in favor of a more generic representation. The high plinth gives the statue a certain aloofness, a concentrated posture clearly evident in the closed form. The eyes of this lord of the church are directed towards the Residenzplatz, the artist himself having chosen the precise location and orientation of his statue. It was a gift from Manzú to Salzburg, a city for which he felt close affection. Together with Oscar Kokoschka, Manzú was one of the leading lights of the ...

Majestic eagle’s wings rise from a monumental stack of books – almost as if they were guarding a treasure. Anselm Kiefer says that these wings are a sign that the knowledge hidden in books cannot be constrained merely to those pages. The mythical power of artThis German artist, who today lives and works in France, often focuses on myths, creating “The Language of the Birds” as his personal interpretation of the writings of the French esoteric Fulcanelli.
