Marjetica Potrc
"Permanently Unfinished House with Cell Phone Tree"
19.2.2003 to 6.4.2003

As an artist who trained as an architect Marjetica Potrc is committed to subjects related to architecture and urban construction. She is interested in public spaces, urban development and planning. Her favourite topics are enclosed town districts, for instance slums or favelas at the lower end of the scale, or the closed cities of the rich at the opposite end of the social scale. Renewable energy, visual environmental pollution, ecology, creative treatment of criminality etc. form the focus of her work. Her exhibition in the Salzburg Kunstverein has been given the working title Permanently Unfinished House with Cell Tower and deals with the relationship between architecture and how building work is legally controlled, and also analyses discussions related to the ecological and aesthetic aspects of mobile phone transmitter masts.
Marjetica Potrc was born in 1953 and lives in Ljubljana. In 2000 she was awarded the Hugo Boss Prize of the Guggenheim Museum in New York; in 2002 she participated in the exhibition Designs for the Real World organised by the Generali Foundation in Vienna.

Opening: 19 February, 7 p.m.

Friday, 28 March, 6 p.m.: Lecture with Marjetica Potrc
in cooperation with the Architecture Initiative Salzburg
ICCM Kolleg St. Josef, Gyllenstormstrasse 8, Salzburg-Aigen

Regula Dettwiler
Within the series "Areas of Action"
19.2.2003 to 11.3.2003

Regula Dettwiler investigates the impact of ersatz worlds and staged environments (shopping malls, entertainment complexes) on our understanding and experience of nature. Working in various different media (watercolour, photography, slide projections, video, computer animation), she examines the aspect of artificiality as the embodiment of contemporary "authentic experience". For several years, she has been working in the manner of a naturalist on a Natural History of the Artificial World. In this project, her interest is focused primarily on artificial orchids found at shopping centres all over the world, which she photographs and catalogues. Like a scientist returned from a long research expedition, she presents her findings in slide shows, as collection prints and in other media.

Regula Dettwiler, born 1966 in Oberkulm (CH), lives in Vienna.
