KUNST IST RISIKO
Markus Hinterhäuser steht – ob man seine Programmatik teilt oder nicht – für Kunst als Denkraum.
Spott oder kalkulierte Verkürzung sind keine Kritik, sondern Verweigerung.
Denn Kunst ist kein Service. Kunst ist Risiko.

ART IS RISK
Markus Hinterhäuser stands—whether one agrees with his artistic direction or not—for art as a space for thought.
Mockery or calculated oversimplification is not criticism, but refusal.
Art is not a service. Art is risk.

L’ART EST RISQUE
Markus Hinterhäuser incarne — que l’on partage ou non sa vision — l’art comme espace de pensée.
La moquerie ou la simplification calculée ne sont pas une critique, mais un refus.
L’art n’est pas un service. L’art est risque.
NEW! Issue #1 2026
For Peter Noever, the development and aesthetic condition of this city has never been incidental; it has been a sustained commitment. His interventions in Vienna’s public realm — realized in collaboration with leading international artists — remain enduring markers of contemporary art’s presence. Among them are Tor zum Ring by James Wines / SITE, Stage Set by Donald Judd, Peter Noever’s MAK Terrace Plateau, and the intervention by Michael Kienzer. These works continue to demonstrate that public space can be both intellectually charged and aesthetically uncompromising.
His collaboration with Lebbeus Woods, however, opened an exceptional and rare possibility: to think beyond incremental adjustment and toward a genuine reorientation — conceptually, structurally, and culturally.
With the intervention System Wien, it seems, the federal capital was compelled — if only briefly — to confront its own reflection.
The recent essay by Theresa Mörtl in the newly published issue of the Swiss architecture magazine modulor reads as an unmistakable indication of missed opportunities, pointing to a discourse that hesitated where it might have acted.
Friends, you are welcome!

"Spiegel ist nicht Spiegel. Sole Oriente ermöglicht Dinge zu sehen, die ansonsten nicht im Blickfeld liegen, selbst im Bild zu bleiben, eine Idee zu bekommen, wie man von anderen gesehen wird. Sole Oriente wird schon alleine durch eine leichte Drehung zugleich eine Quelle des (indirekten) Lichts, eine magische Lichtinsel, anregend, Stimmung und Wohlbefinden beinflussend, entspannend und ein leuchtendes Zeichen urbanen Designs in privater Atmosphäre." - PN
