Once More, The Assistants Take The Stage

Last night, the exhibition Schauraum II opened at KG Freiräume in Hallein. Just like its counterpart during the first session, it features works of the artists currently providing assistance to the teachers at the Alte Saline Hallein. As Bärbel Hartje, herself assistant to the head of the Summeracademy and in charge pf putting the show together said in her opening speech "In this exhibition we want to put some focus on the fact that the assistants are themselves practising artists and showcase some of their work." She goes on to explain the process. "We simply asked them to bring a couple of their works with them that they would like to show and then arranged them in the gallery."

Joining the assistants is one more artist, TeER, who has been with the academy in Hallein for a long time, helping with technical problems and saving people from ill-minded computers.

All in all, last night revealed an interesting exhibition dealing with time and its perception and leakages from popular culture and design, amongst other things, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the people incessantly aiding our students and professors.

The exhibition will be running until the 26th of August at the Galerie der KG Freiräume, Bürgerspitalplatz 1. The gallery is opened every Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm, additionally this Saturday, the 20th of  August, from 10am to 1pm and on Friday, the 26th of August, from 10am to 6pm. So when you go to Fürstenbrunn this Saturday to see the final presentation of the Stonemasonry class, or to Hallein for the grand finale on the 26th, why not take a little detour to experience this amazing exhibition?  [mp]
