About this title

Synopsis

Bilingual edition (English / German)

On the trail of air, wind, and breath

Wind moves – both things and human thought. The wind is also a harbinger both of new beginnings and of decay, of control and chaos, and the destructive force of the wind is central to the debate on climate change.

The book Wenn der Wind weht / When the Wind Blows is being published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at KUNST HAUS WIEN, in cooperation with the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It presents more than twenty artistic projects that render the unseen elements air, wind, and breath visible in different ways.

Ernst Strouhal traces (cultural) stories of the wind in his text “Flying Robert and His Kin,” while curators Verena Kaspar-Eisert and Liddy Scheffknecht look at air as a medium in contemporary art.

Works by Hoda Afshar, �lafur El�asson, Ulay / Marina Abramović, and others
With a conversation between historian/author Philipp Blom and climate researcher Helga Kromp-Kolb
Publication to accompany the exhibition at KUNST HAUS WIEN (12/03–28/08/2022)

Luft, Wind und Atem auf der Spur

Wind bewegt – die Dinge ebenso wie die Gedanken der Menschen. Der Wind erz�hlt vom Aufbruch wie vom Untergang, von Kontrolle und Chaos, und die zerst�rerische Wirkung des Windes ist zentral in der Diskussion um den Klimawandel.

Das Buch Wenn der Wind weht / When the Wind Blows erscheint zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung im KUNST HAUS WIEN, in Kooperation mit der Universit�t f�r angewandte Kunst Wien. Es pr�sentiert mehr als zwanzig k�nstlerische Positionen, die die unsichtbaren Elemente Luft, Wind und Atem auf unterschiedliche Weise sichtbar machen.

Ernst Strouhal sp�rt in seinem Text „Der fliegende Robert und die Seinen" (Kultur-)Geschichten vom Wind nach, w�hrend die Kuratorinnen Verena Kaspar-Eisert und Liddy Scheffknecht das Medium Luft und Luft als Medium in der zeitgen�ssischen Kunst untersuchen.

K�nstlerische Arbeiten von Hoda Afshar, �lafur El�asson, Ulay / Marina Abramović u. a.
Mit einem Gespr�ch zwischen Historiker/Autor Philipp Blom und Klimaforscherin Helga Kromp-Kolb
Publikation zur Ausstellung im KUNST HAUS WIEN (12.03.–28.08.2022)
