Admont monastery . Exhibition "NATURE" 2009
Exhibition "Nature - Creation is not finished!", Admont Monastery, 2009
Curated by: Michael Braunsteiner
Installation "Heaven on earth" from Austrian Artist Günther Pedrotti
The border between nature and culture is a tectonic faultline of human self-understanding. For example, when humanism seeks to tame the animal instinct in people, this can be understood as a tectonically preventive measure on the level of cultural history. When humans dabble in creation regarding nature, the foundations of both sides sometimes clash. The resulting tremor can then be so large that it raises a mountain of questions, which are often so disturbing that they force us to reinvestigate the notion of being human.
The exhibition, “Nature - Creation is not finished!”, at the Monastery of Admont, looks at the boundaries and dissolution of boundaries between nature and culture. However, the artistic directions of the exhibition are not limited to earthquake faultlines. Rather than becoming fixed on the precariousness of the boundary, a multiplicity of different presentations of nature becomes evident. The artistic handling of creation is more playful.
