OUTSITE_1 - THOMAS STIMM

Ceramic Sculptures in the courtyard of MUMOK

Two times a year, as part of the series OUT SITE_01, MUMOK invites artists to make an artistic intervention in the courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier. With this project, MUMOK hopes to create a greater awareness of contemporary sculpture while at the same time highlighting the primary function of the space to present art.

The first exhibition will show Thomas Stimm (b. 1948 in Vienna), working partly in contrast to his earlier works which were based on forms found in nature. Within the context of the urban architecture of the MuseumsQuartier, an ensemble of enormous flowers and fruits will be set up as a monumental Schrebergarten whose disproportional banality should seem incongruous with the bombastic architecture surrounding it.
