Excursion as part of the Vienna Art Week.
Departure Vienna: 13:00 (bus park at Kursalon Hübner, Johannesgasse 33, 1010 Vienna)Arrival Nitsch Museum, Mistelbach: 14:00NITSCH MUSEUM: Guided tour through the exhibition JORN - NITSCHProtestant North vs. Catholic-Baroque Weinviertel "Jorn - Nitsch" is the first exhibition at the nitsch museum Mistelbach in which Hermann Nitsch's artistic work is juxtaposed with a second position. Alongside Karel Appel and Pierre Alechinsky, Asger Jorn (1914 Vejrum - Aarhus 1973, Denmark) is one of the best-known protagonists of the CoBrA group, one of the leading avant-garde movements of the post-war period in Europe, which spoke out in favour of originality and freedom in art.
Jorn's and Nitsch's paintings are characterised by sensual power, physical commitment and materiality. With his action paintings and Schüttbilder from the early 1960s onwards, the Viennese actionist had decisively expanded the panel painting and defined it as a precursor to his Orgien Mysterien theatre. Above all, his late painterly work is filled with gestural discharges of impasto materiality and strong colouring. Jorn draws from the unconscious beyond the rational world and creates hybrid-organic form wildness that dissolves into an abstract painting substance.
A further parallel can be found in the use of drawing and the primacy of the line, whether Jorn's archaic-childlike cephalopods and human-animal creations or Nitsch's anatomically and organically characterised architectural notations in his graphic work.
Curated by Florian Steininger (Artistic Director of the Kunsthalle Krems).
Afterwards 15:00: Onward journey to Prinzendorf Atelier Hermann NitschArrival: 15:15 Atelier Nitsch, Prinzendorf
PRINZENDORF CASTLE: Guided tour of Hermann Nitsch's former studio Prinzendorf Castle is a historic castle in the Weinviertel region, which is known for its central role in the work of the artist Hermann Nitsch. It originally belonged to Klosterneuburg Abbey and was part of an agricultural estate. For Nitsch, the castle became a place of artistic enlightenment, where he realised his "Orgien Mysterien Theater". In 1971, he acquired the castle, which has since served as the venue for numerous performances and Whitsun festivals, including the famous 6-day play with hundreds of participants. Surrounded by vineyards and cellar alleys, the castle provides the ideal backdrop for Nitsch's extensive artistic visions.
