BETWEEN SOUND, ART AND ANTON BRUCKNER!
The KUVA Art Symposium is a format in which the two curators, Michaela Reisenberger and Bibiana Weber, invited visual artists to set up their studios for several days in April 2024 on the premises of Turm 9 - Stadtmuseum. Work was carried out in public on site during the so-called work days on the given theme "Anton between the worlds" around Anton Bruckner. The works created during the symposium will be presented in the special exhibition "Anton zwischen den Welten".

The artists fan out the canon of visual and aural works and take a contemporary look at Anton Bruckner. The exhibition organisers commissioned selected sound artists to develop compositions for the works in the show which refer to the art in musical terms. The pieces commissioned for the sound mediation entries will be accessible in the exhibition in the form of sound stations.

Ars Electronica Center Linz, Deep Space 8K
Duration of the exhibition: 01.02. - 31.12.2024, Tue - Sun at 16:30 each day

What makes up the gigantic, imposing sound of a Bruckner symphony? Visitors can approach this question in a playful way with "Playing Anton" in Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Center: Playing together with other visitors, they can constantly re-form the various instrumental groups of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz thanks to the innovative interaction technology of Deep Space 8K. Various facets of the musical and compositional perception of Bruckner's music are illuminated, enhanced by impressive 3D visualizations.
For example, "Playing Anton" - developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab - allows visitors to immerse themselves visually and musically in Anton Bruckner's impressive world of sound together with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and interactively explore its special features. Not just as listeners in front of the stage, but right in the middle of the orchestra.

The immersive sound space "Being Anton" at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz offers visitors the opportunity to explore Bruckner's world of sound in a completely new way. After all, when we think of Anton Bruckner, we usually think of his legacy, i.e. Bruckner's music and his sounds. But what soundscape surrounded Bruckner himself? What did he listen to in his everyday life? His life was characterized by many social upheavals triggered by the industrial revolution. The steam engine, for example, which was used in steam trains and steamships, not only changed people's mobility options at an unprecedented pace, but also brought a completely new soundscape into the world.
The installation "Being Anton", developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, allows visitors to immerse themselves in this world of sound that surrounded Anton Bruckner and his contemporaries. The link with examples from Bruckner's musical oeuvre creates points of contact between the two sound worlds.

The relationship between Anton Bruckner and Richard Wagner has often been ridiculed in anecdotes, stylised in both a positive and negative manner and leaves behind an array of questions.

In addition to original letters from Bruckner, the handwritten copy of the Third Symphony dedicated to Wagner is the highlight of the exhibition.

Anton Bruckner is not just a local phenomenon in Upper-Austria. He is a world-renowned and recognised "great" as a musician. Who was this man, in whose honour an entire year has been declared the year of Bruckner in Linz and Upper-Austria 200 years after his birth?

The exhibition embarks on a journey into Bruckner's past, exploring the set pieces that remain or have emerged over time and placing them in new contexts. We encounter an introverted nerd somewhere between provincial dust and the big city, an unrecognised genius searching for love. The life and work of the musical genius are both illuminated and critically questioned from today's point of view. Views, original artifacts and documents, and contemporary visualisations shed new light on a great musician. In six themed rooms, the story of Bruckner is retold and made tangible.

In Bruckner's sketches, which were written during his time as a teacher and later as a monastery organist in St. Florian, numerous copies of works by other composers can be found. The composer was particularly interested in the art of writing fugues and church music. He developed his own technique by copying mostly contrapuntal works by J.G. Albrechtsberger, M. Haydn, A. Caldara, J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart and other musicians. The sketches also include a copy of an Ave Maria by Franz Joseph Aumann, the Floriani choirmaster.

Under the direction of Elisabeth Wiesbauer, the Euridice Baroque Orchestra will perform symphonies by J.G. Albrechtsberger and M. Haydn on period instruments alongside Aumann's Ave maria.

The steam engine, for example, which was used in steam trains and steamers, presented the people of that time with new mobility options at an unprecedented pace and also introduced new elements of sound to the world.
The installation "Being Anton", developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of sound that prevailed in the day of Anton Bruckner and his contemporaries.
