Lang Gallery at Webster University Vienna As part of the Art/Visual Culture programme Webster University Vienna Berchtoldforbiddance and danger, defines borders, marks inclusion or exclusion. The column in the exhibition space stays wrapped during the show, thus also making the documented intervention more tangible to the viewer. Through his phenomenological contemplation, Salgado evokes discussion on limits and boundaries between public and private spheres, a theme that he also examines as the initiator and curator of the Vienna International Apartment. Since a few years, every spring and autumn, he invites international artists to exhibit
their works in his apartment and opens it to the public for several weeks. The public, as well as the artists and Salgado, confront the situation in which one suddenly enters the private sphere of another person, alters it, and is required to accept and adapt to new rules and realities of this environment. Through an interplay between reference and revelation, Salgado is able to uncover new possibilities and new realms.
Biography Silvio Salgado is an artist and independent curator. He has studied fine arts and sculpture in London (Central St. Martin's, Chelsea College of Art), and graphics in Lisbon where he also worked as a professional printmaker and photographer. His main media include sculpture, installation, graphics and painting. Silvio Salgado has held several group and solo exhibitions, in Portugal, Great Britain, Austria and Finland, and performed as a curator in international art exhibitions. Since Summer 2003, he lives and works in Turku, Finland.

Thomas K. Lang Gallery at Webster University Vienna
The exhibition space at the Th.-K.-Lang Gallery of the Webster University is not a regular White Cube. It also functions as a passage between the class rooms and as a lounge for the students. One single column incontestably penetrates the Gallery; it doesn't stand in any particular line, nor does it project itself as a decorative item. SĂlvio Salgado has discovered the many such columns which support the structure. They have a static function in the building, which, however, remains veiled from the house dwellers. The columns stand in an ostensibly random and disproportionate
Salgado's photographs that are exhibited in the gallery depict the columns wrapped in black-and-yellow and red-and-white band that is typically used to protect particular sites from passers-by or to protect passers-by from certain sites. The band also signals
The column in the exhibition space on the third floor is, in fact, a camouflaged pillar that begins in the cellar of the building. It continues through the super market on the ground floor, enters a classroom with computer terminals on the first floor, penetrates an empty
room, and ends in the art gallery. The private apartments on the top floor seem to manage without the support function of the pillars. The column thus intrudes into a variety of places with different kinds of public and private functions, and at the same time, connects these spaces with each other.
fashion as structural elements in the various spaces, occasionally causing restriction and hindrance. They penetrate the entire building and, at the same time, hold it together; but they are noticed only when they become obstacles, as is the case in some small office spaces.
