With this exhibition on Josef Bauer, the Belvedere 21 is showcasing a visionary approach that has hardly been recognized in the international art world. Bauer has been one of the principal protagonists of Conceptual Art in Austria since the 1960s.
The Upper Austrian Concept Artist describes his work as “tactile poetry.” His installations, paintings, objects, and performance photographs always revolve around the question of what can be articulated with art and how. The dual meaning of the exhibition’s title, Demonstration, refers on the one hand to the gesture of presenting, on the other to the expression of political protest—two themes that play a major role in Bauer’s oeuvre.
