Paul Thuile draws. The motifs refer to objects from everyday surroundings, usually sections of a room or everyday objects. In the wall work shown here, he enlarges sections of his own drawings, focusing on individual tiny details until the objects disappear. The autonomy of the line becomes the subject of the picture: the flow lines, meanders, fraying, and breaks in the (drawn) exploration of the world emerge.

The bathroom – a place of privacy, intimacy, and sensuality since time immemorial. Annemarie Laner's design concept explores this theme on several levels. The tactility and suppleness of the material merge with handwritten text excerpts, context-related lyrical fragments, and interwoven drawings to create a sensual, graphic wall frieze.

These two almost identical photographs capture the renovation phase of one of the guest rooms. Several approximately 35 cm tall plaster sculptures enliven this spatial situation and, through their mere presence, change the perspective of the room. The viewer is cordially invited to let their creativity run free in this quiet moment and discover and mark any differences in these two, only almost identical, photographs. We hope you enjoy them.

For the project "Art in the Baths of the Sonnenburg Castle in Kaltern," a result was selected from the context of the painter's work that corresponded to the required color and theme. In this case, a refreshingly colorful, painterly subject, interrupted by white and deep red color movements. A sensory spatial experience that can trigger both soothing and inspiring sensations and thoughts.

Art in the bathroom... Water, rushing, spraying, dripping, rippling, murmuring... imagine? We turn on the faucet and cold or warm water rushes out of the tap; it's so natural. We humans have lost touch with water. Do you think about how clean water comes from the spring, how powerfully the river moves, how still the lake is, and how endlessly the sea moves? We need water to live; it is a part of our culture and history.

2017 | Charcoal drawing on paper, digitally transferred to glass

Gino Alberti devotes himself to drawing on large-format sheets of paper. Landscapes are his preferred subject. Clichés such as clear mountain lakes surrounded by tall conifers, radiant snow-capped peaks, or the expanse of the ocean evoke idealized landscape depictions. The romantic, solitary view of the deserted natural spaces is broken upon closer inspection: Again and again, bold lettering punctuates the idyllic vistas and brings the viewer back to the present.

The bathroom is an intimate place of cleansing and care, where the bath visitor encounters himself daily and takes care of his personal hygiene. The composition The Flying Comb depicts monotypically oversized toiletry utensils. These motifs, printed on a tinted, large-format mirror, fly towards the bath visitor who sees himself in the mirror. The visitor thus appears interactive in this composition.

Drawing is a direct and intuitive process: drawing happens. Wave... is a delicate graphite pencil drawing on the wall, depicting undefined objects and shapes that combine and build up into an all-encompassing wave. The sensitive interplay of environmental influences and water dynamics is reflected in the fragility of the drawing. The Great Wave is a homage to the woodcut "The Great Wave" of Kanagawa by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.

A movable metal arm with a disc attached to the end. The solid, heavy appearance is merely a pretext. The shadow conceals, light reveals. The image itself is immaterial.

The bathroom is the room / that gives the feeling / of belonging to you alone / comparable to the heart muscle in the body / Wil-ma Kammerer focuses her work on exploring human sensitivities. She explores the flood of information, the veracity of media reports, the impossibility of grasping these in their complexity, and the powerlessness and indifference of the recipients. Power relations are translated into visual form in a sensitive and radical way.

Karin Schmuck focuses on artistic portraiture and creates staged photographic works, pushing the genre beyond its limits. The large-format work Plunge, mounted on the wall, lends depth to the space; at close range, the viewer seems to immerse themselves in it, while at greater distance, the subject in the image becomes recognizable.

The geometric shapes of Elisa Alberti's paintings, usually painted on canvas or wood, were implemented directly on the wall here. Arranged in a grid, the black shapes move from floor to ceiling and, unlike on canvas, can extend further into the corners of the room. The reflection of the shapes enhances this effect, transforming the perception of the space, making it appear larger, sometimes infinite. The forms are separated from each other by fine lines scratched into the wall.

We live in the now, have memories, and think about the future. I recreated the original tiles of the old bathroom in three dimensions in wood, thus preserving a connection to the history of this room. We humans always want to reinvent ourselves, but this only succeeds if we integrate what we have already experienced into the new.

This figure is inspired by Marcel Duchamp and Gerhard Richter's "Nude Descending a Staircase." In my interpretation, it was important to me that the nude be so alienated that one no longer knows whether the figure is approaching one or moving away from the viewer.

I SEE is English and means "I see." In the South Tyrolean dialect, it is also read as "I see." A play on words: I and the lake, I see, I see the lake. I see the lake through the bathroom window. I can turn the "I," thus moving the frame, changing my perspective, looking behind the glass.

My picture of Lake Kaltern becomes real, yet remains a picture. One of countless pictures that our collective memory has stored of the lake. The artist plays with fiction and reality. He creates the framework. I design the image.
