Dates near & far

No matter whether you are participating in a rocket flight into space, are in the middle of a waterfall, exploring the forest or crazy dancing: Bruckner's music propels us on a fantastic journey of discovery into nature, into our emotions. But how did other composers do this? Could they do it better? Who can best describe a dangerous encounter or a mountain meadow? Bruckner, Brahms or the famous film composers? Let's enter the fantastic world of music!

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.

You only turn 200 once! We are celebrating Anton Bruckner, why don't you join us! Visit our walk-in and interactive sound experiences on a guided walk and immerse yourself in the world of Bruckner.

Playing Anton
What is the gigantic, imposing sound of a Bruckner symphony made of? Playing Anton" in Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Centre gives visitors the opportunity to approach this question in a playful manner": Together with other visitors, they can constantly re-arrange the various instrumental groups of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz using the innovative  and interactive technology of Deep Space 8K. Various facets of the musical and compositional perception of Bruckner's music are illuminated and reinforced by impressive 3D visualisations.
For example, "Playing Anton" - which was 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. They can then explore its special features in an interactive manner, not just as listeners in front of the stage, but from right in the middle of the orchestra.

Being Anton
The immersive  "Being Anton" acoustic space at the Ars Electronica Centre in Linz allows visitors to explore Bruckner's world of sound in a completely new way. After all, when we think of Anton Bruckner, we usually think about his legacy, i.e. the music and sounds of Bruckner. But what acoustic space surrounded Bruckner himself? What did he listen to in his everyday life? His life was shaped by many social upheavals triggered by the industrial revolution. 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. Linking the latter to examples from Bruckner's creative work generates points of contact between these two worlds of sound.

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).

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.

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.

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.
