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 two curators of the KUVA ART SYMPOSIUM, Bibiana Weber and Michaela Reisenberger, are inviting artists from German-speaking countries to set up their studios for several days in April 2024 on the premises of Turm 9 - Stadtmuseum Leonding. The eight artists will work on site on the set theme of Anton Bruckner.
On workdays visitors to the museum will have the opportunity to observe the creative process and exchange ideas directly with the artists. Thus the artists Stefan Esterbauer, Hanna Heidt, Judith Musil and Tibor Kovács, Mariana Nikolai Pacheva, Marion Reisinger, Edith Stauber and Janine Weger will become mediators of their art.
The works created during the symposium will be presented in a special exhibition titled Anton zwischen den Welten (Anton between different worlds). As part of the symposium and in cooperation with Anton Bruckner 2024, there will also be a museum garden festival, known as the TINGEL TANGEL TAG for short.
Clemens Bauder's "Schorgel" (home-made organ) will be used for the first time, offering plenty of opportunity for playful encounters.

The special exhibition deals, among other things, with the historical documents that record Anton Bruckner's relationship with Perg.
A fragmentary account is given of the ways in which the musician, Anton Bruckner, was honoured in Perg in the decades following his death through the naming of a street, the hanging of a memorial plaque, in specialist lectures or as part of church tours. An annual programme, which accompanies the exhibition, is directed at the inhabitants of the town and district of Perg inviting them to visit the exhibition.
Perg is Bruckner's town because
- Anton Bruckner's great-grandmother was the daughter of a millstone cutter from Perg
- Bruckner had personal friends or was acquainted with several people from Perg (in particular the Mayor, Karl Terpinitz, and the schoolmaster, Kirchhofer) and Anton Bruckner was thus commissioned to build a new organ in the parish church of Perg,
- Anton Bruckner dedicated the Perg Prelude to the leather goods' merchant, Josef Diernhofer,
- Anton Bruckner set the Liedertafel motto to music written by the Pergkirchen priest, Andreas Mittermayr.

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.

David Wagner is collecting audio donations of short motifs from the 9 Bruckner symphonies on video from the residents of the streets, alleys, paths and squares throughout Upper Austria once frequented by Bruckner. He is using them to create a 9-minute compilation of footage that depicts a representative cross-section of Bruckner's creative symphonic work. He has the support of a randomly generated cross-section of the population from the entire state of Upper-Austria.
In this way 72 short videos are produced. The actual "performance" is filmed as is the journey itself, making contact with the people, the rehearsals and various "making of" scenes. These are then edited to make a film which also lasts for around 9 minutes.
Just like Anton Bruckner, David Wagner navigates his way through the countryside without the need for an engine. With a velocipede as his means of transport, he reaches all of the 72 stations on his Bruckner Road Tour without generating any CO2 thus ensuring that the spirit of Bruckner, which still hovers above the land above the River Enns, remains undisturbed by pollutants .
David Wagner is looking forward to the company of fellow cyclists along the route to sweeten some of the kilometres he has to cover on these 1,500 kilometres through Upper Austria.

This is a place where everything takes infinitely long, it is infinitely quiet, a place where mystery is strong. In this enchanted glade, the ten symphonies of Anton Bruckner resonate 666 times longer. A pause of one sole minute in Bruckner's music becomes a silence of eleven hours and six minutes. The rustling of the leaves, birdsong, the creaking of trees and the horns of distant ships are the real sound of Bruckner, namely the sound for him. An all-pervading mystery from 13 February till 10 November 2024.

This focus of this project lies on ten women who played a vital role in the life of Anton Bruckner. Linz-based artist Zoe Goldstein spent over a year collecting information in order to compile these biographies. The aim is to cast the spotlgiht on these women and gain an idea of who they were and how they lived. Portraits and biographies are examined allowing us to question the role of women in society then and now. The title of the project links the importance of women to his art and refers to his mother, Theresia Bruckner, who was an important female constant in his life. To give a wider audience access to this topic and generate a discourse, this project has been conceived as a travelling exhibition in Linz, Steyr and Attersee. An additional item of the programme, following the opening in the Brucknerhaus on International Women's Day, is a production with a concert and a reading which will take place in the last month of the presentation at the square of the Mariendom (St. Mary's Cathedral).

Theresia Helm, Anton Bruckner's mother, was born in 1801 in Neuzeug at 28 Theresia-Helm-Straße. She grew up in a wealthy home in Neuzeug.
Her parents owned large parcels of land and her father also received an income in his capacity as administrator of the Gschwendt estate,
as well as the income from the inn. They were also entitled to work as knife makers and publishers.
So on his mother's side, Anton Bruckner is a genuine 'Sierninger - Neuzeuger'.
Anton Bruckner later returned to the inn, which is now the Landhotel Forsthof, again and again and once dedicated the song Die Rose to the daughter of the hotel, whom he greatly admired.
He was also a founding member of the Liedertafel Sierninghofen-Neuzeug singing group, which is still based at Restaurant Landerl and holds weekly choir rehearsals, provided those attending are able to sing.
Anton Bruckner was also the author of the singers' motto.
The opening of the exhibition with the Hausruckviertler Kunstkreis (Hausruck Art Group) will take place on 10.05.24 at 18:00 at the municipal office. You can visit the exhibition during the opening hours of the municipality or by prior registration by phoning 07252 2255-0 or registering by mail: Registration
2 guided tours are available:
- Sierning: on the trail of Anton Bruckner, his love and his contemporaries in Sierning
The tour includes the Landhotel Forsthof, the castle and the church. The Forsthof, where he was in love with the daughter, is almost certainly where he also met Josef Werndl and Anton Landerl, one of Sierning's greatest patrons (financing the hospital and the high altar in the parish church).
He enthusiastically played Marian hymns on the organ in the church for his great love, Bruckner was often invited to the castle by the owner, Baroness Sophie von Karst.
- Sierninghofen/Neuzeug: tracing the footsteps of Theresia Bruckner (née Helm) and Bruckner's friends in Neuzeug
Here the focus is, on the one hand, on Theresia Helm, Anton Bruckner's mother, who was born in Neuzeug.
On the other hand, Anton Bruckner had good friends in Neuzeug, such as Carl Almeroth (cutler in Steyr and Neuzeug) and also had good contacts with the local Liedertafel singing group. He came up with their foundation motto and also took part in the rehearsals.
The tours can be booked individually and last for about 2 hours.
The price is € 10.00 per person for up to 10 participants and € 7.00 per person for 11 persons and more,
or group prices by arrangement. In Sierning a visit to the exhibition is included in the price of the guided tour.

Anton Bruckner felt at home in St. Florian Abbey. He was a choirboy, was taught, later taught himself and played the organ on the "Krismannin" in the collegiate church. He sought his identity as an artist in this special place in the world, to which he was to return for good on his last journey. The Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024 exhibition provides an insight into the stages of the composer's life and work at the abbey for the first time with a large number of documents from the abbey archive. Three monumental pavilions in the abbey courtyard invite visitors to experience Bruckner's dreams and visions in exciting multimedia presentations.

An all-pervading mystery from 13 February till 10 November 2024.

This focus of this project lies on ten women who played a vital role in the life of Anton Bruckner. Linz-based artist Zoe Goldstein spent over a year collecting information in order to compile these biographies. The aim is to cast the spotlgiht on these women and gain an idea of who they were and how they lived. Portraits and biographies are examined allowing us to question the role of women in society then and now. The title of the project links the importance of women to his art and refers to his mother, Theresia Bruckner, who was an important female constant in his life. To give a wider audience access to this topic and generate a discourse, this project has been conceived as a travelling exhibition in Linz, Steyr and Attersee. An additional item of the programme, following the opening in the Brucknerhaus on International Women's Day, is a production with a concert and a reading which will take place in the last month of the presentation at the square of the Mariendom (St. Mary's Cathedral).

Theresia Helm, Anton Bruckner's mother, was born in 1801 in Neuzeug at 28 Theresia-Helm-Straße. She grew up in a wealthy home in Neuzeug.
Her parents owned large parcels of land and her father also received an income in his capacity as administrator of the Gschwendt estate,
as well as the income from the inn. They were also entitled to work as knife makers and publishers.
So on his mother's side, Anton Bruckner is a genuine 'Sierninger - Neuzeuger'.
Anton Bruckner later returned to the inn, which is now the Landhotel Forsthof, again and again and once dedicated the song Die Rose to the daughter of the hotel, whom he greatly admired.
He was also a founding member of the Liedertafel Sierninghofen-Neuzeug singing group, which is still based at Restaurant Landerl and holds weekly choir rehearsals, provided those attending are able to sing.
Anton Bruckner was also the author of the singers' motto.
The opening of the exhibition with the Hausruckviertler Kunstkreis (Hausruck Art Group) will take place on 10.05.24 at 18:00 at the municipal office. You can visit the exhibition during the opening hours of the municipality or by prior registration by phoning 07252 2255-0 or registering by mail: Registration
2 guided tours are available:
- Sierning: on the trail of Anton Bruckner, his love and his contemporaries in Sierning
The tour includes the Landhotel Forsthof, the castle and the church. The Forsthof, where he was in love with the daughter, is almost certainly where he also met Josef Werndl and Anton Landerl, one of Sierning's greatest patrons (financing the hospital and the high altar in the parish church).
He enthusiastically played Marian hymns on the organ in the church for his great love, Bruckner was often invited to the castle by the owner, Baroness Sophie von Karst.
- Sierninghofen/Neuzeug: tracing the footsteps of Theresia Bruckner (née Helm) and Bruckner's friends in Neuzeug
Here the focus is, on the one hand, on Theresia Helm, Anton Bruckner's mother, who was born in Neuzeug.
On the other hand, Anton Bruckner had good friends in Neuzeug, such as Carl Almeroth (cutler in Steyr and Neuzeug) and also had good contacts with the local Liedertafel singing group. He came up with their foundation motto and also took part in the rehearsals.
The tours can be booked individually and last for about 2 hours.
The price is € 10.00 per person for up to 10 participants and € 7.00 per person for 11 persons and more,
or group prices by arrangement. In Sierning a visit to the exhibition is included in the price of the guided tour.

Anton Bruckner felt at home in St. Florian Abbey. He was a choirboy, was taught, later taught himself and played the organ on the "Krismannin" in the collegiate church. He sought his identity as an artist in this special place in the world, to which he was to return for good on his last journey. The Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024 exhibition provides an insight into the stages of the composer's life and work at the abbey for the first time with a large number of documents from the abbey archive. Three monumental pavilions in the abbey courtyard invite visitors to experience Bruckner's dreams and visions in exciting multimedia presentations.
