Nobody is a universal genius, yet with this booklet and the necessary dose of curiosity, you, dear museum visitor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as if with an imaginary string phone - can encounter art, culture and nature, not only authentically, but above all, close up. This magazine should be seen as a common thread running through the world of the Universalmuseum Joanneum: twelve loca-

tions woven together in a small, dense volume.

Page after page, each an experience with objects, personalities, and plenty of background information.

The authors Vera Bachernegg und Katharina Maria Zimmermann both wish you a funfilled visit to the museum.

This Joanneum cosmos is extensive, and above all diverse. As an introduction, preparation and appetiser, this ABC not only presents favourite objects from the museum, it also tells you what’s new. After all, the Smartphone is a new educational tool and the Kunsthaus café has been revamped.

MUSEUMS A — Z

for arbalest In the Schloss Stainz Hunting Museum we find a steel bow from the 16th century. It’s among the most important pieces in the collection. One of the ‘ancestors’ of the European crossbow as we know it today, is the ‘gastraphetes’ originating from Greece, the so-called ‘belly tightener’. But more on that subject in the Hunting Museum – they’re the real experts, after all.

for Big Wirbel Two days, many experiences, all the colours of the rainbow. All those interested from tots to grannies will be delighted with this, for the ‘Big Wirbel’ (Great Whirl) offers numerous workshops in 2018 in and near the Kunsthaus for trying out and taking part in art techniques.

for C The near-mysterious CSI

piece is displayed in the Folk Life Museum. A man’s jacket with stitchwork that poses a puzzle and so shows pretty well the museum work that has to be done in the background. Where does our knowledge end and how far can we stretch our room for interpretation? So ask for the ‘CSI man’s jacket’ when you’re there!

D The depot resemfor depot

bles the beating heart of the museum. Here can be found many thousands of objects in a very confined space. One exhibition alone is usually unable to reflect the sheer abundance of the depot. The display depot in the History Museum sets out to convey at least an impression of how rich and varied its collections are. for Enns Valley

A looming grey presE ence, the Grimming, gazes

attentively over the Enns Valley. Equally impressive is Schloss Trautenfels, which is devoted to all facets of the culture and natural life of Liezen district. That includes the Hunting Room. for Food We care about picnicking at the Joanneum. That’s why, at the Austrian Sculpture Park, the Hunting

Museum Schloss Stainz, the Schloss Eggenberg, and the Rosegger Birthplace, you can grab a tasty and overflowing picnic basket, relax on a green Styrian meadow and enjoy the fine fare. Just ask – that won’t cost anything. for Geburtshaus

G A Rosegger Commemoration Year could be a good chance to walk to his birthplace on the Alpl. Perhaps, to travel back in time and trace the life of Peter Rosegger. Or just simply to enjoy the outdoors there. The wonderful thing is, one doesn’t exclude the other.

H This magnificent piece for Herzogshut

is housed in the History Museum (in case anyone wants to visit it!) Most folks probably know it anyway from the Styrian Coat of Arms!

for idyll A park. A castle. A dream of roses. That and much more besides is the all-round attraction called Schloss Eggenberg. For example, it’s Baroque pure. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not to mention, a great place for a picnic. If that’s not enough for you, you must be spoiled for idylls!

for Kunst im öffentlichen Raum

It’s always there for you. Without intruding in any way. And free of charge. Art In Public Space. So open your eyes and you’ll be surprised. Such art is on show in Graz, Feldbach, Eisenerz, and many other places. Those who want to learn more, or want some form of expert support, should join a guided tour on this subject. for Listen to me! … Or so the Audioguide says! This guide is available in several museums at the information desk. So if there’s no guided tour going on right then, the visitor to the museum gets the best information straight from the Audioguide. And hey – you’re guaranteed smarter afterwards…

M The Agriculture for Models

Museum is located in Stainz. With more than 16,400 objects and easily understood topics such as country life, nutrition and forestry, it’s not easy to pick out one object. Yet if we had to, it would perhaps be Archduke Johann’s models of agricultural machines; machines that then really turned out to be of great help for the people of Styria.

for Neue Galerie Graz

A word of explanation: The Neue Galerie Graz is concerned with art from the 19�� and 20�� century, as well as contemporary art. If you want to vanish into the mists of time, further back than the 19�� century, then you go to the Alte Galerie. All pretty straightforward, isn’t it?

O There’s only one origfor Original

inal Strettweg Cult Wagon and that’s to be found in the Archaeology Museum on the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg. The masterpiece from the 7th century B.C.E. is one of Austria’s three most important archaeological objects, along with the Venus of Willendorf and the Beak-Spouted Ewer of Dürrnberg.

for Peace Never a dull moment in the Joanneum when it comes to World Peace Day. The Styrian Armoury, the History Museum, the Folk Life Museum and the Natural History Museum all open their doors for a varied programme with readings, plays and practice-based workshops. When? The period in question is from September 20�� to 22ND.

Q The History Museum for QR-Code

is at the cutting edge when it comes to conveying information. In the 100 x Styria exhibition, for example, QR codes are an aid to greater knowledge. For by scanning you can get all sorts of bytes on the exhibited pieces concerned.

for rifles You can find heaps of these at the Styrian Armoury, for it’s the largest preserved historical weapons storehouse in the world. Of interest, too, are the guided tours titled ‘Armoury for kids and grown-ups’. As the objects themselves have no explanations next to them, the trio of the audioguide, the booklet, or the guided tour can really help you understand better.

MUSEUMS A — Z

for Joanneum-savvy You too can understand the Joanneum with the Multimedia Guide in the Kunsthaus. The smartphone app is perfect for all those interested in the architecture and current exhibitions at the Kunsthaus. Unlocking code at the counter, ask for it at ticket sales, download the app to Google Play Store or onto iTunes and you’re ready to go!

for Science Center Plenty going on in the Natural History Museum! It’s being cleared out, built, with something completely new being created. Working together with FRida & freD, it’s the Joanneum’s declared goal from 2019 onwards to enable young people to delve playfully into the world of science and technology. for Tea or coffee?

MUSEUMS A — Z

Want some tips for T coffee in between visiting

museums? The ‘Kunsthauscafé’ in the Kunsthaus Graz, the ‘OHO!’ in the Joanneum Quarter, the ‘Schmidhofer im Palais’ near the History Museum, ‘Le Schnurrbart’ by the Folk Life Museum and the ‘SchlossCafe’ in Stainz. for Universalmuseum

U 12 locations in Styria.

Accumulated knowledge and many events. What has been, and what is now. The mundane and the fantastical. Art, culture and science. All that (and a great deal more) makes up the Universalmuseum.

for variety The exhibition is properly thought through and ready for visitors. Now the educators arrive. They will take you with them on a journey of profound learning, telling the details and incidental anecdotes, filling in the gaps. It’s true: knowledge is power!

for Wiener Spaziergang

A walk through Vienna: That’s what they call the Action whereby Günter Brus, as he put it, decided ‘to walk … through Vienna’s inner city as a living picture, so to say … rightly thinking that the vigilant eye of a guardian of public order would spot the living picture and arrest it. This happened on the corner of Bräunerstraße and Stallburggasse. A policeman led me to a nearby police station, to the delight of passers-by. They took down my personal details and ordered a taxi.’ More by Günter Brus is displayed in the BRUSEUM.

for x-cellent! This is the third time this wonderful, multiple award-winning publication called the Museum Magazine has come out. We are very happy about that – you, too, hopefully. We recommend, therefore, that you start collecting instead of hunting, and in this spirit get hold of magazines from previous years. A fun thing to do – and educational, too.

for Yoko Ono Some names in the Austrian Sculpture Park just sound good. And Yoko Ono is one of them. Her contribution is called ‘Painting to Hammer a Nail In / Cross Version’ and stands – together with 71 contemporary artworks spread over seven

hectares – in the southern, leafy outskirts of Graz. Well, isn’t that worth a little southbound roadtrip?

for zoom in 2018: a year to zoom in on anniversaries. It’s Peter Rosegger’s Commemoration Year. The Diocese of Graz-Seckau celebrates 800 years and so is organising the exhibition ‘Faith Love Hope’ together with the Kunsthaus Graz. In Schloss Trautenfels religion is on the agenda with ‘God and the World. What Do We Believe In?’ What’s more, there’s something on show in the Styrian Armoury to mark the tercentenary of the Treaty of Passarowitz. And Günter Brus turns 80.

BRUSEUM The well-known Austrian artist celebrates his 80th birthday in September. We talked to him and his wife.

GÜN T ER & ANNA BRUS

‘Now the circus has really begun. Let’s go somewhere where no one’ll find us.’

Joanneum Quar ter

How did it happen at all that the BRUSEUM exists today? GB: Well, Peter Weibel said quite

How did you both actually meet? GB: Doing rock ’n’ roll. AB: No, we were hanging about in

the woods. Brus said to the birds, ‘shut up!’ And I said, ‘You can’t talk to the birds like that!’

clearly at the time that Brus has made a major contribution to art history; so we have to tie him down, otherwise he’ll become Viennese at some point. And as the collaboration with the Joanneum works well, outstanding, sensitive exhibitions can be mounted. The name was criticised to begin with as some considered it too banal. I always found BRUSEUM to be a good name. Do you consider yourself courageous, looking back? GB: Well, when I think of the om-

inous ‘uni action’, then I was definitely pushing at the limit. It was sheer rebellion. Art and revolution, it was an enormous provocation that was almost unbearable. People could no longer stand it, either. But I didn’t have the feeling I was courageous. AB: What’s more, this action took us to Berlin and that was an important decision for the course of our lives. Vienna was a dreadful city. Lots of police and everything grey upon grey. So how did a return to Austria come about, nonetheless? AB: We followed our daughter. We

were totally upset to begin with, and not enthusiastic, either. But she wanted to go to Graz, she was often with grandma for holidays, after all. She gushed about the lovely people there.

Do you have any work or any creative period that you like to think of in particular? GB: I like to think of all the peri-

ods. Except for those when I got stuck. Like in Berlin at the beginning. But 1980 was actually a good year, fine works were created then. I also did a wide variety of things, there was not just the revolution, there were fairy-tale illustrations, too. At some point, they then said: ‘A wild one has been tamed.’ If someone has to know one thing about you (I mean, someone who doesn’t know very much about you) – what should it be? GB: I would say: First of all, go to

the museum! And I think, the ‘Vienna Walk’, maybe people should know that one.

NEUE GALERIE GRAZ

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller Scene following the fire at Mariazell 1827 oil/canvas, 37 x 29 cm � I/1622

Four works from the large collection will be taken from the storage depot for this museum magazine and shown here, regardless of the exhibitions. A little something to look at and learn about for those friends of art from the 19�� and 20�� centuries.

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller

Waldmüller is the most important representative of Viennese Biedermeier painting. In this picture he captures a genre scene following the devastating fire at the Mariazell Basilica and depicts in detail traditional Styrian dress.

The Grande Dame of Austrian and international painting had her last solo show, which she was still able to attend in person, at the Neue Galerie Graz a few years ago. This classical motif (‘Woman Laokoon’) was the poster motif for the Lassnig exhibition which was shown during the ‘documenta’ in Athens in 2017.

Sonja Gangl

Marcel Duchamp

The Styrian Sonja Gangl has long been well-known for her conceptual works. In the series ‘The End’ she devotes herself to the film medium – namely with virtuosic pencil drawings. This series was presented in Vienna’s Albertina in 2013-14.

The fact that the Neue Galerie owns an example of this box object, with which Duchamp, as it were delivered a summary of his life’s work, is considered almost a sensation. Duchamp is one of the 20th century’s most influential artists.

A new species in the River Mur! And it’s on show too, in the N A T U R A L H I S T O R Y M U S E U M !

Something’s happening at the ‘Hotspot Mur’. New species are being discovered and already familiar species are being remembered. Researchers have found a new, emerald-green species of fish and the Natural History Museum has taken this opportunity to examine in detail the creatures living in and by the River Mur in an exhibition. Hello, new fish!

Of course, in this exhibition you can discover the newcomer among fish species called the ‘emerald gudgeon’. But you can also learn about the differences between still-standing and flowing waters, about stones called (in German) ‘Mur dumplings’, about snakes, beetles and the mysterious process of DNA barcoding. The River Mur: so near, so oft-discussed, yet so unknown! The SEXperts are back!

The ‘SEXperts’ – those buzzing bees and awesome pikes – are in evidence

in 2018, too. Several examples from the previous year have been moved to to Dornbirn, yet the exhibition about ways in which animals, plants and fungi reproduce is in no sense shrinking. So now it’s been joined by a pair of loving tigers, a chastity belt, mouflons, and much else to amaze. Be curious and step through the portals of the Natural History Museum! Because the more folks know about the variety of species, the better. That’s our motto for 2018!

VISUAL EXPLOSIONS C O N G O S TA R S

Duration 22 SEP 2018 � 27 JAN 2019

Some dazzling guests will be visiting the Kunsthaus in 2018. But what do we know about the Congo? This country that’s the size of western Europe and has produced such artists as Chéri Chérin, Shula or Chéri Samba. 12

Kunsthaus Graz

What you always wanted to know about Congo at the heart of Africa: 8. The Kunsthalle Tübingen and 1. The country is one of the largest

for mining, with many materials that we use in our computers and mobile phones coming from there.

2. Five main languages are spoken in

the Congo: French, Swahili, Lingala, Kituba and Tshiluba.

the Iwalewahaus in Bayreuth are also taking part in ‘Congo Stars’.

9. Many of the artists began as comic

illustrators and advertisement painters in their youth. And you can see that in the paintings.

3. The artists are pretty much

a ‘macho club’ – there are only a few female artists, and many of them live abroad.

4. In the legendary terrace restau-

rants, women enjoy turning the heads of Congolese men. This – and other matters of the heart – are reflected in the pictures.

5. The Congolese rumba sets the back-

ground rhythm to this. (See point 4)

6. Many works which can be found

among the round 350 exhibition pieces in the Kunsthaus were painted on tablecloths, flour or sugar sacks.

7. One cooperation partner is the ‘Africa Museum’ in Tervuren. Its location in Belgium is no coincidence – Congo was long colonialised by the Belgians.

Book tip:

Tram 83 by Fiston Mwanza Mujila The former Graz writer-in-residence and author from the Congo describes a fictitious city which functions as a parallel world to social reality, obeying its own logic, and providing western viewers with a way in to the exhibition’s varied themes.

NEW, OL D WORL D

It’s written in neon-lit letters over the entrance door: you have arrived at the Schaudepot. At first glance it all looks a bit strange – objects in abundance, if in a plain setting. The exhibition pieces are mostly surrounded by mesh wire and an aluminium construction. While outside the tram moves down Sackstraße, those inside are concerned with Styria, whether it’s music-making, work and production, food or drink. A cultural-historical collection with a delightful new approach. 15

SC HAU DEP OT Collected history

With 2,000 objects, you have to limit yourself somewhat if you want to go into detail. Let’s stick with Anna, who’s being guided through the brand-new Schaudepot and the exhibition titled ‘100 x Styria’ by Peter Pessl – with all its ups and downs.

It’s the Black Plague, which 8-year-old Anna has just discussed in school, and so inquisitive questions start popping up even on the way to the exhibition. Does the disease still exist? If so, how can it be combated and can we catch it, too? The history lesson was good and interesting, but it’s a while ago, and there’s a sense of relief when Peter Pessl, the educator, enters the room behind Sackstraße. His arrival gets the ball rolling, thank goodness. Well communicated

Peter is full of stories, and that’s why he has been a guide through the History Museum and Styrian Armoury for more

than ten years. Anna is spellbound, hanging on his every word. She can ask any questions that occur to her, and it’s still not dull after two and a half hours. Why is there incense in church, for example? Well, to cover the stench from the graveyard. Horrible smells are the opening subject anyway, as the talk is of the former tanners of Graz and what resources they worked with. Here are the inn signs, for example the one for the ‘Hungarian Crown’, truly a blessing. The occupation of chamberlain was also quite new to Anna, but using a bunch of keys, Peter Pessl can explain to her what that man’s ordinary day looked like. Another job that’s unknown today: the candle-snuffer, who was continually occupied with cutting off the candlewicks. Although Anna thinks that is a very important task, he was nonetheless one of the lowliest servants in the master’s household. Into the spotlight, with stage fright

Certain phrases that occur in German even today come up, such as ‘Lampenfieber’ (stage fright), ‘Rampenlicht’ (spotlight), ‘Hexenschuss’ (lumbago), ‘den Löffel abgeben’ (to kick the bucket)

Histor y Museum

Ever y storage depot is also a display window: In the History

Museum, the collection is ordered by themes. These globes can be found in the ‘Travel & Transport’ room.

or ‘Torschlusspanik’ (last minute panic). Peter Pessl can explain their origins and Anna is astounded that in former times candles were placed on the theatre stage, and that the candlesnuffer – often in costume – had to shorten all the candles. He often received an extra round of applause but also grew hot through doing this, hence the term ‘Lampenfieber’ (literally, ‘lamp fever’). At the end, Anna is surprised that the guided tour is already over, but as a memento – in memory of the candlesnuffer, whom by now she finds cute – she’s allowed to turn a few bee’s wax candles herself. Quite some stroll through the Schaudepot!

M U LT I M E D I A COLLECTIONS As an image and a sound

It’s all thoroughly multimedial in the collection of the same name. We’ve picked out the delicacies from 2.5 million objects, which happily now have their own first permanent exhibition space. A photo album for our region and city. But with this ticket, you also get that special movie sensation!

100 X STORIES No such thing as a stupid question…

… as the folklore saying has it. So no one’s embarrassed to ask questions about Styrian history in the exhibition ‘100 x Styria’. The result is 100 episodes explaining the last 1,000 years, like random samples thrown up. For those who may have wondered how the clock has changed daily life, how occupations developed throughout the 19th century, or where people went shopping around 1900 – this is the right place for them.

PETER ROSEGGER FOREST HOME AND A CHANGING WORLD Duration 9 FEB 2018 ďż˝ 6 JAN 2019

A N E A RLY T W E E T E R

This year, Peter Rosegger would not only have been 175 years old; it is also the centenary of his death. Reason enough to consider him again from a fresh angle, to see him as the personality that he really was: an opinion former, or a forerunner of the blogger. But there was no social media during his lifetime, so he expressed himself through his channels as a journalist and author. In this special exhibition, Peter Rosegger takes a stance on all the charged issues of the day. 20

ROSEGGER MUSEUM

L E T ’S C O M ME M O R AT E T HE T H O U G H T S…

… that’s what we’re doing in Krieglach in 2018, the Rosegger Year, in the exhibition ‘Whom does the Großglockner belong to?’ For the lad from the woods also grew up eventually, and it is precisely the adult Rosegger in his former country home that the spotlight’s on here. Peter Rosegger had all sorts of thoughts on the issues of his time. If you will, some of the questions are still urgently relevant. Take, for example, protection of the environment. In Rosegger’s day, there was dispute over whether parts of the Großglockner mountain should be privatised and turned into a high hunting ground, made the property of the province of Styria, or further opened to tourism. Peter Rosegger’s opinion on this can be found in the exhibition as the solution.

Writing down

Peter Rosegger wrote down many of his innermost thoughts in the so-called ‘Heimgarten’. The booklet appeared monthly and its themes were varied. For example, it dealt with politics, with education, religion, but the environment, too. So anyone who’s also interested in the adult, critical Rosegger will probably find it hard to avoid the exhibition and the magazine called ‘Heimgarten’.

50,000 years in one building? Yes, that’s possible! The collections just have to be divided well, so the displays show the daily culture of the Romans, the Egyptians, and those living during the Hallstatt Period.

BIL DERREISEN

Baroque pictures are filled with meanings. Yet nowadays, unfortunately, the viewer coming fresh to the image often lacks the connection to allegories and background information. For this, the educators and ‘Bilderreisen’ series of guided tours (in German only) at the Alte Galerie are a great help to visitors. We have already inquired in advance, and want to introduce you this time to Ercole II d’Este as Hercules and the Pygmies , painted by Dosso Dossi .

Who’s that? That’s Hercules, the strong

hero of ancient Greek myths, lying on a large lion skin. All around are dwarves attacking him. Hercules is compared with Prince Ercole II d’Este of Ferrara. What does it remind us of? Obviously – of ‘Gulliver’s Travels’. However, it was rather the other way round, for author Jonathan Swift was probably inspired by one of those pictures to then write his work.

Which period does the picture come from? It’s not so clear, although it is

estimated that the work was created between 1534 and 1542. (By way of comparison: ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ were published in 1726.) What was the picture intended to convey? This portrait was a clear mes-

sage directed at d‘Este’s enemies and meant to show them they are ridiculous and have not the slightest chance. The prince depicts himself as being as strong as Hercules and wants to convey, ‘I am invincible’.

ARC HAE OLO GY M U S E U M & COIN CABINET

The art of making old things buzz with excitement lies in the stories behind them. Christa Gamperl and her team, which includes Claudia Ertl, put things long since past in a modern context, not forgetting to remind us of Volvo, Nike and the like. A L O N G WAY FROM INDIANA JONES & L AR A CROF T What exactly makes archaeology so exciting? CG: Archaeology is a very young

science that has been established since the 19th century. Archaeology tells us about the life of people in various epochs. It is the story behind the objects. It covers how they were used in earlier times, what their function was, how they were re-discovered, and then finally how they came to be in the museum.

How does someone become an educator at the UMJ? CE: To begin with, I was always in-

terested in the subject, and was able to realise my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream, so to say, by my choice of study and then the job at the Universalmuseum Joanneum. As a child I was already going from one museum to the next with my parents. And secretly, at secondary school, I already knew I was going to go in this direction.

S chloss Eg genberg

Christa Gamperl is head of education at Eggenberg. She is proud

of the fact that her team is always full of new ideas.

Claudia Ertl likes variety. Every day,

every group, every person is different, and that is what makes the work so exciting.

A good mix of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enjoying talkingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and expert knowledge:

whoever works as an educator in Schloss Eggenberg has already heard nearly every question. And, of course, knows an answer to it.

S chloss Eg genberg & Flavi a S olva

My studies took me to Salzburg, then to Greece, and although I thought I would some day remain at the university, the job description at the Joanneum appealed to me. Since then I have been here, and I can’t imagine a better job. What are the tasks of an educator at the Archaeolog y Museum and the Coin Cabinet? CG: Education means helping the

visitor discover the story behind the buildings, objects, and the like, awakening their enthusiasm and interest. For the highly motivated team of educators here, that means creating new concepts every year for the themes covered, workshops and guided tours, and then realising them.

Yet how does one arouse the interest of the visitor? CE: Each of us has different inte-

rests and our own way of explaining something, so education is always approached in a personal way. I am lucky in that I very much enjoy talking; besides I always try to make something come to life, then people can absorb it better. Often the legends and myths are already in the visitors’ minds – however, I have to make sure that they are provided with the right context. Such series as ‘Percy Jackson’ or brands like ‘Volvo’, ‘Audi’, ‘Nike’ or ‘Hermes’ are helpful in doing this.

F E M A L E S L AV E S O F V I RT U E Duration 18 MAY 2018 � 31 OCT 2018 Awards worn by women in the old Austria play a key role this year in the Coin Cabinet . These included the ‘Order of the Starry Cross’ or the one that gives its name to the exhibition, the ‘Female Slaves of Virtue’. In the Coin Cabinet you’ll find out who received these awards, why they were given, and why people generally like to be honoured. RAZOR SHARP Duration 18 MAY 2018 � 31 OCT 2018 Things have sharpened up in the Archaeology Museum ! The exhibition is all about hornstone, generally better known as ‘flintstone’. This is among the oldest raw materials of mankind and is probably not without reason ‘Fred’s’ surname. Much of the stone comes from Rein near Graz, by the way.

In the castle in western Styria we have a mission. We aim – among other things – to ‘increase the understanding of processes in nature and the products resulting from them’. The outcome? A Hunting and Agriculture Museum. T HE ‘STAINZ AGE’ PERIOD

S o m e “ o re - s o m e ” o re

S chloss Stainz

HUNTING MUSEUM Hunting itself has a long tradition. A timeline of its own in hunting matters began at Schloss Stainz in 2006, the year a museum presenting hunting as a historical, sociological and philosophical-ethical phenomenon came into existence.

makes which noise. Other stations in turn invite you to allocate the prints made by deer, rabbit etc., or to puzzle over which fur belongs to which creature. Listening, feeling, and reflecting, in Austria’s largest hunting museum: it all happens in Stainz. A G R I C U LT U R E M U S E U M

The perfect location

Schloss Stainz was built in 1229 and acquired by Archduke Johann in 1840. That’s right – we mean the archduke whom we know as the founder of the Joanneum, the former mayor of Stainz and a passionate hunter. By the way, he’s regarded as a representative of the romantic hunters, who were led by their respect for animals and nature, and who sought an intense experience with the outdoors. Wrong track

‘Those expecting a display of trophies are on the wrong track in the Hunting Museum,’ according to the Hunting Museum. Over 1,200 square metres of exhibition space is devoted to quite different things and issues. What are the effects of hunting on art, literature, music and film? What are the tasks of the modern-day hunter? What do Austria's domestic animals do in winter, for instance?

In times in which some people swing from Low Carb to Paleo, only to be haunted by Fast Food again, the subject of nutrition is an on-going issue. The Agriculture Museum tackles the subject less from the lifestyle angle, more from that of nature (or, from the pre-industrial age). The Archduke’s ideas

We are all affected by the history of agriculture and forestry. Archduke Johann was also not indifferent to the subject. He introduced progressive ideas, as shown in the models of agricultural machines and implements on display in Schloss Stainz alongside many other exhibition pieces. What’s more, in 1819 he founded the Chamber of Agriculture in Styria with the then-named Imperial and Royal Agricultural Society. But enough of the Archduke! Back to the museum visit.

Right track

Visitor’s delight

The exhibition is set up in a multimedia-oriented, playful way. There’s a comprehensive ‘guessing station’, where visitors have to work out which animal

Farming, cattle breeding, alpine farming, beekeeping, garden work, winegrowing and oil extraction are all themes covered. Every modern cook

will be amazed by the rustic household appliances, as there could as yet be no talk of any form of kitchen aid. Add this well-selected information to the almost nostalgic look back at ‘the good old days’, and the soul benefits, too.

IRON Duration 24 MAR 2018 � 31 OCT 2018

Which main themes have been picked out here? KW: One theme will be ‘iron and

myth’. Then the theme of metal crafts will be treated. It’s interesting, for example, that the cutler has right now become retro, and so ‘in’. But iron in art, too, in agriculture, in daily life, and in architecture are all areas covered thematically.

Easy guide to understanding steel

Styria is an iron-processing region. Innovative products are created here; steel is used for the production of seamless tubes or steel cable for the ski lifts. The reasons for this are found in the 2018 special exhibition – in a search for clues with Archduke Johann.

We talked to the museum director Karlheinz Wirnsberger about the special exhibition of 2018. What awaits visitors to the ‘Iron’ exhibition? KW: We are concerned with the

iron industry in the 19�� century, and reach into the present. Of course, Archduke Johann makes an appearance, who played an important part with the furnace in Vordernberg and other equipment. Eventually he brought us the know-how from England.

Hearth washing machine.

Metal, wood. First half of the 20 TH century.

What can you tell us about the piece selected here? KW: Up to 1954 laundry was still

being washed with this hearth washing machine. On the lower side can be found a conical cylinder, which was placed into the open fire of the kitchen hearth. To get clean washing, they had to crank it for about 15 minutes. The laundry was then rinsed with cold water – in the stream, for example.

Art in Public Space Styria has left its mark through the whole province â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with nothing left to chance. Every project is connected to the setting. The institute reaches out to people, covering contemporary themes and opening up avenues of perception. We see it as a playful way of gaining greater understanding of art, public discourse and ourselves.

Eggs-ceptional: Political Landscape

Ausseer Land, these days a tourist magnet, once a hiding place for art, Nazis, and resistance fi ghters. This region, which has already withstood many a great challenge, is mainly renowned for its nature. But art can be discovered at every turn. For example, Eva Grubinger’s Hedgehog, which probably enjoys the loveliest view of all, and is located at a former hideout for Austrian opponents of the regime. Or the seashell, which actually shouldn’t be here at all, for the marine plant is a one-off and was confiscated by customs oﬃcials. Today it ‘lives’ under the bridge and in the mountains, thanks to Bojan Šarčević. Eggs-amining: Inverting Battlefields

Eleven artists work in Feldbach in eastern Styria from June to September. No coincidence, for Feldbach was a critical zone in both world wars. ‘Inverting Battlefields’ engages with the disconcerting theme of war, which is interpreted differently by each artist. For one can only process what has been properly reappraised. ‘KiöR’ and the Verein Xenos are gathering artists from the states formerly making up Yugoslavia, and Styria, who are realising various installations, sculptures, performances, a reading, and a project that involves shrapnel in trees, all in Feldbach.

Eggs-traordinary: August Musger / SlowMotion HighSpeed

At the Bergmannsplatz in Eisenerz, tribute is paid to a great man from the locality: August Musger was a priest and physicist, and also notably the inventor of slow motion technology. However, as he failed to have this patented, his name doesn’t mean much to most people. That is now to be changed with an art installation. Musger’s bust rotates every half hour behind a glass cube. Clemens Luser has created a memorial for the man from Eisenerz by forcing viewers to apply slow motion technology with their own mobile phone, thereby making the rapidly rotating figure visible. Smart idea!

Austr i an S culpture Park

AU ST R I A N S C U L P T U R E PA R K

The perfect place? Right by the lotus pond, of course! Gazing at water is good for us. A red picnic rug roomy enough for two, in the basket a Styrian potpourri of delicious treats – horseradish, smoked sausage, crispy black bread and the mandatory pumpkin seed spread. Plus a glass of wine to wash it down – true bliss. This describes the picnic in the Austrian Sculpture Park, which with its basket from the Hotel Ramada offers the perfect chance to chill amidst sculptures by Fritz Wotruba, Franz West and Yoko Ono. And to muse.

Spring Celebration with fresh art.

One highlight more fixed in the calendar is the Spring Celebration on May 27��, a chance to present new sculptures. This year, the artists-in-residence are Brigitte Kowanz and her students from the University of Applied Art in Vienna. Markus Wilfling and his class from the Ortweinschule in Graz will provide ‘fresh art’ under the open sky.

REL A X, JUST DO IT

Folk Life Museum

Somehow everyone is an expert on beds, and so to take part and bring one’s ideas to the mix is particularly exciting.

A summar y of this exhibition:

FOLK LIFE MUSEUM

U P Y O U G E T, L A Z Y B O N E S !

Out of bed and off you go to the Folk Life Museum! There the accumulated knowledge of one of man’s important companions awaits you. It goes by the name of bed. No life without a bed. No bed without a story. No exhibition without beds. That – or something like that – is the atmosphere in the Folk Life Museum between Karmeliterplatz and Paulustor. With a fair dose of bravura, 20 themes have been crafted onto the permanent exhibition, all linked to the good, old bed. After all, it keeps us company life-long, from birth onwards.

Bed stories

Eroticism has as much a role to play in the exhibition as the most varied items of clothing for the night – on show in the Trachtensaal. In the Rauchstube (by the way, this 500 year-old room was relocated in its original state from a Styrian farm to the museum) the theme of disease is explained. The bed as a location of important events in people’s lives opens up many themes.

ST Y R I A N A R M O U RY

Until the day that peace reigns throughout the world, there will be World Peace Day. This provided for many fruitful discussions in the cultural memorial, the Styrian Armoury, in September. Throughout the year the special exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Impact of Passarowitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; also deals with the theme of peace achieved soon.

CE A SEFIRE

St yr i an Armour y

Talking is priceless

Leo Tolstoy, for example, can write much about war and peace. Alternately, one can talk about it, examining the topic from every angle. A good place for this is the Styrian Armoury, whose ambivalent relationship between violence and aesthetics, as well as the fascination it exerts, yearns to be made the subject of conflict resolution without resort to weapons. Or, that peace means more than the absence of conflict, being rather a constant effort to achieve constructive interaction at all levels of society.

T H E I M PAC T O F PA S S A R OW I T Z Duration 6 APR 2018 � 4 NOV 2018 The Styrian Armoury contains more than ‘just’ armour. Special exhibitions are also held in the world’s largest fully-preserved weapons store. In 2018, we travel 300 years back to find ourselves – assuming we have calculated and time-travelled correctly – in 1718. Why 1718? A year in which peace was achieved. The location? North-eastern Serbia, where the Treaty of Passarowitz was negotiated. The parties involved in this case were the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, who with this document really gave the green light to starting cooperation between the Balkan countries and central Europe. Want to learn more? The exhibition’s the place for that.

Day of peace

Readings, plays, experts and those active in refugee support all help bolster the process of democratisation over three days. Instead of sharpening weapons, they sharpen the level of understanding of schoolchildren and other interested people. World Peace Day takes place in the Styrian Armoury on September 20, 21 and 22. For the remainder of the year, the largest preserved historical armoury in the world with its many thousands of objects continues its educational mission.

One among 3,800

Ideally, permanent peace could finally be attained. Yet this is not the case, which explains why we have World Peace Day, which was created by the United Nations. Above all, the Styrian Armoury as a top tourist attraction provides a venue for constructive discussion of this complex theme.

From the mouth to the ear through some string. From the object to the hungrily inquisitive visitor through the educator. The String Telephone and the Universalmuseum Joanneum have one thing in common. They communicate. Reading this booklet means hanging on the coat tails of the authors Vera Bachernegg and Katharina Maria Zimmermann as they steer through a world of museums free of any dust. As they do so, they winkle out various secrets and stories from the region and its people and scribble them down in their notebooks. Such resounding names as birthday boy Peter Rosegger or Archduke Johann take their place besides shooting stars from antiquity. A (reading) journey that’s hard to forget. „I have by the help of a distended wire, propagated the sound to a ver y considerable distance in an instant.” Said Robert Hooke,

who in 1664 believed he had invented the string telephone; however, comparable objects have been discovered that were used in the Andes some 1,200 to 1,400 years ago.
